JOY OF SETS BLOG HOP - HARVEST TIME

Autumn is my favourite time of the year so I was delighted that Angie McKenzie chose this as our theme for our Joy of Sets Blog Hop this month.

I've used a Stampin Up set here called Country Home - still current and such a lovely set - I'm so glad I got it - I love that milk churn.  I have a few ornamental ones in my garden.  I stamped the churn and the flowers first and then masked them off whilst I turned ot the rest of the tag. 

I used the Distress Ink colours shown in the picture - mixing until I was happy with the effect - I also added a touch of Mustard Seed.  I added some TH Distress Crackle paste which had been coloured with Walnut Stain and added with a Tim Holtz dot stencil. I used various TH stencils to add interest to the background including a splatter stencil, letter stencils and a Stampers Anonymous script stamp.  The flowers in the churn were also coloured in with the distress inks. I used the SU blender pens in Grey to colour in the churn.  I used the tiny TH letter dies to make the word thanks.  The quotes are from Tim Holtz Idealogy sticker book and the lower sentiment is a stamp from Visible Image.
