Last night however I just felt the need to craft so with nothing in mind I went to the room of craftymess!!! and this piece evolved. Everything I used was to hand on my very messy desk after I had cleared a space big enough to craft in hence the size of the project I suppose!!! lol. So today I would like to share this piece with you,
I used TH DI victorian velvet wild honey scattered straw and milled lavender for the background and Alterations caged bird die, also Tim Holtz stamp plate, flowers were paper ones which I inked and spritzed with water and crumpled them left to dry and this gives the shabby look to them which I am liking very much at the moment it seems to be my thing!!! for now anyway.
I will be entering this piece into the following challenges
Simon says Stamp and Show a Word
The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog - Spring
Sunday Stampers - Die cuts
Thanks for stopping off to read my blog

Bye for now

ReplyDeleteHello Maggie. I am sorry for the loss of your friend. Isn't it nice that we have our crafting as our "therapy" in times like that? Your entry into Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge this week is lovely. You were very inspired! I am a huge Tim Holtz fan, so of course ... your piece, dripping with Tim stuff, is just my style. :) I love the colors you chose and the shabby flowers are wonderful! Thank you for entering it into the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge! <3 Candy
