Morning all and happy Saturday....
Today, I'm off to Crafts 4 U 2 do in St.Helens...where we are having a workshop day using Claritystamps and Angelina Fibres....it's all the ironing I intend to do today...
It just so happens that it is also the day of a new Challenge over at the Sweet Lilac Challenge Blog...
Today the theme is.....All about Spring.....and haven't we had some lovely spring weather recently?
Here is my D.T. Piece...do hope you like it...
I started with a piece of A5 Theuva card from Clarity and one of the new A5 stencils ...the wonderful owl....
I taped the stencil at the top and began sponging some Adirondack ink through the stencil. I used Butterscotch, Latte and Expresso..
When I had finished, I removed the stencil and brushed Stonewashed ink around the edge with a Clarity Stencil brush....now anyone who knows me will know just how much I love these brushes..
Some matting and layering onto brown card....
I then used a larger piece of white card and edged this with Butterscotch Adirondack ink once again with my fabby stencil brush.
Then over stamped using the crackle stamp and second generation of Latte adirondack ink.
I stamped the sentiment onto a separate piece of card, added some colour and some matting and layering.
Next, I arranged my embellishments including these wonderful Sweet Lilac flowers and Leaves...
When I was happy, I started to glue them into place...
Then I added the sentiment,
And my work was finished ...oh I do love these flowers....don't you??
