Your tag turned out very beautiful. This video is so helpful as you showed us the process of how to substitute things and how when they don't work to try again. It was a real learning experience. I must confess that sometimes I try too hard to make mine look like somebody else's. So I'm hoping that I can learn to get over that. This video was helpful in that way

[@HighCountryStudio]

“ Comparison is the thief of joy”…Theodore Roosevelt. Thought you’d like this quote. Your tag is great and I love the Pinterest-inspired series. 👏👏👏

[@tanjablume6343]

I love that quote!!

[@nataliechim5227]

Love how you made this tag your own and came up with creative solutions for the items you didn't have.

[@luiseheinzl]

awwww! you did it again! why? why? you can’t show me things that I immediately wanna try out but don’t have time! argh! drives me crazy! your tag is so beautiful!

[@49dragonflies]

I’m so sorry, Luise! I’m happy you like it though! 😘😘😘

Wow 🤩, who needs Pinterest inspiration when we have Barbara to inspire us, beautiful 😍 ❤️❤️

☺️❤️

[@heathersullivan8494]

I love it!! Great job on improvising. I think it’s important to remember that when we tag things we like on Pinterest, that it’s just inspiration. Of course we will end up with something a bit different, but that’s the whole idea. We all have our own unique style and our own individual materials to work with. So in the end it becomes our own piece. Absolutely beautiful. ♥️

[@deborahbergstrom2290]

It is always fascinating to watch you "reproduce" an item from Pinterest! I love how you made this tag your own!

[@TheInkinGardenSpot]

Beautiful tag. Love that you made it your own with things you already had.

[@maryschuler9512]

I just got your notification and I am still in the middle of watching video but I wanted to be the first to comment. Bucket list completed. Lol. Off to watch it. I'm sure it will be wonderful as always!! I'll probably comment again. Lol. 🤣🥰💙💙💙

Hello, Angela ❣️

[@pambotter355]

Barbara, this tag turned out beautifully! Love the colors. TFS! ❤️

[@deniseaka-pennyforyourthou2680]

I have to say at first I wasn’t digging it, but the finished tag is SPECTACULAR!! The colors mesh so well and it’s beautiful!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

I think your adaptions are equally beautiful as the original... I think it's always good to remember that it's still your own work even though you use others work to inspire you... That's my philosophy when I use others work anyway 😉😁 Hope the move is going well sweetie💖 💖

[@idavera55]

I love that tag. You always do such an awsome job when you do a "Pinterest Inspired" project!!!

[@nancypyter1511]

I just love when you do these Pinterest inspirations Barbara! We all learn so much! And I think it is so much fun too!

[@cindycreateforlife]

Your tag is gorgeous, the crackle stamp was a definite yes, brought needed texture! Loved watching your process, I also agree that comparison tricks our minds into thinking that our ‘inspiration’ was supposed to be the exact result! 💕🇨🇦

[@angelaarnold4255]

I love seeing how you look at each section and figure out how to make it work. I love looking at the Pinterest tags and Journals. Ooohhhing and aaawwwing over them. Wishing I could do that. Knowing I can’t. But when you do it your way it seems much more doable! And that’s so smart to stop looking at the 2 tags, side by side and comparing them. I love the way yours turned out. I keep thinking of the saying, How do you eat a whole cow (something really big)? One bite at a time. You can’t “eat” this tag all in one big bite. But if you take small bites, it’s not so scary. Thanks for showing us this!♥️♥️♥️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Angela! Yes, baby steps are totally manageable. You could do it too! 😃❤️

[@Dawn-fz5cu]

Just Beautiful!! I am learning so much from this series! Thank you so much for taking us along as you work out these gorgeous pieces of art! I love it that you find other materials to work with and how they are every bit as beautiful as the original. It helps those of us who are limited in our on hand supplies to know that you can make beautiful pieces using what we have.

[@lisawagner6076]

I have never watched one of these pinterest inspired videos before and I really enjoyed it! I loved your butterfly! Beautiful!

[@susanmorales8675]

Absolutely stunning. I get a lot of inspiration from the way you change things to make the piece your own. Your advice about not comparing your work to the original was so helpful. The last thing anyone needs is to become dissatisfied with our creations. Thank you Barbara . You are such a wise woman.

I do like the idea of taking someone elses work and seeing how you can replicate it with different media and make it your own.

[@bozomahoney]

Hello from Canada again. Is it too much to ask for you to post 3 times a day please? HAHA... seriously, I love your content and your beautiful soul.

[@49dragonflies]

Hahah thanks! I wish I could! 😃❤️

[@lynnsmith7465]

Gorgeous! I have found, on the stamps that print black around the edges, if I cut the extra rubber part away with a sharp exacto knife it stops the overprinting.

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

Love the colors. Thanks for the tip on using water color instead of distress oxide so the gesso doesn’t take on the color from it. Now I know how to prevent what I’ve had problems with before. Thanks!

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

"I don't have those exact ones. I am lucky to have this set." What a refreshing attitude in today's "You need to buy this!" world!! I am going to work on having that attitude myself from now on instead of grumbling. Also, thank you so much for providing us with this video today as a car came over into our lane tonight and although we were fine, we had to stamp on the brakes and it left me feeling quite shaken and anxious but now I am feeling inspired and calm. xx

I’m so happy nothing happened to you! ❤️

Morning Barbara. This is a lovely tag. Love the colouring of the "scraps", they work so well together. Another great success, my crafty friend. As always, you have inspired us and, all I can say is, THANK YOU. We know how much work and effort go into every video and, I for one, appreciate all that you do. If possible, I NEVER miss any of your videos and have even gone back into the "archives" to watch the golden oldies. Pure enjoyment and pleasure. As always, from Cape Town, Blessings and hugs to you and your hubby. Diana

[@49dragonflies]

You are such a sweetheart! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cherylmiller7603]

Lots of fun to watch these inspired tags! I believe the "string" under the Pinterest butterfly is orange raffia, probably dyed as it usually comes in a natural tone.

[@49dragonflies]

😊❤️

[@saundyfx6126]

I was thinking the fibers from a spent dryer sheet could give you the fuzzy string behind that orange string. Use an ink pad to color it. This tag was beautiful the way you added your own elements. Thanks for showing this. I'll give it a try when I'm not working. 😊

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Barbara, your butterfly tags are gorgeous, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Barbara for this one it's a different colour scheme for you. I like it. Next time in your pinterest series could you do a complicated one please even if it has to be in 2 parts .

Barbara hi hun, hope things are coming along with your move. I think your tag is super awesome. And not just saying that it really is. Maybe she used and ready white card of some type so she could use the ink. Like yupo paper because you need the ink to flow then backed it with something heavier. Anyway yours is so cool. Well done.

[@memorykeeperjournals]

This video reminded me of the time you and Luise did a challenge with another tag that instead had a bird. That was my first time trying out a challenge let alone looking at the Pinterest picture. I learned and had so much fun participating. At that time I didn't have die cuts and I used one of your freebies, my cheap paints and did my own fussy cutting of wild flowers 🙃 because I had to improvise and I believe it's the one tag I am most proud of. You're so right! Doing the same things or comparing is not going to help with your own creativity. I love to create now and adding my own twist. Thank you for reminding me of this amazing day! - Warm hugs from Lucy in AZ 😘😘❤️ By the way, your tag came out amazing as always! You inspire me! 🥰

[@tanjablume6343]

This was the first one I watched in this series👩‍🎨 watching your process and patience😬 was really helpful. I liked how you used watercolours, instead of distress oxides. Sometimes using salt on wet watercolours gives a great effect, I know it works well with blues. I haven't tried orange or green yet. I am in the middle of making tags, do I might do a couple with watercolours. The effect on the gesso looked great, very organic. Great inspiration 🥰
