It's time for another month's challenge over at 613 Avenue Create - always Anything Goes but there is an optional twist. This month it is In The Garden.
I started with some brown card stock and stencilled over it with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. I used Tim Holtz Flower Jar stamps for my flowers. I kept the colours soft and delicate using Distress Inks and an aqua painter brush. The stencil above is from a very old stencil I have which I've used for stencilling on furniture in the past and I couldn't resist using the French term for garden.
To keep with the shabby chic look the card seem to be going towards I tore the edges and inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink and added some lace and a button and thread.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
The Paper Players - Springtime Flowers
We love Chocolate Baroque - Springtime
Inkspirational - Grow
Snarky Stampers - Distressed
