SPRING .... PLEASE

We finally have a dry day here in Wales - so nice to see a bit of sun rather than this constant rain.  After a lovely long walk with the dog up the mountains it was home for a quick bit of crafting time.  I decided to play along with two challenges - Sunday Stamps for their colours and Freshly Made Sketches. 




I couldn't decide whether Sunday Stamps were purples or browns but went with the image of the plums and the wording I spotted Plum Tones.

I used Wild Honey Distress Oxide for the mustard colour and used a stencil for my background.  The bottom colour is Distress Villanous Potion.  I added a tag for the shape and used one of Tracy Evans stamps Tulip from her Elegant Spring Florals set as a perfect Harbinger of Spring.  I coloured the image in with Tim Holtz Watercolours pencils.  I added some washi tape from my stash, some plum ribbon I found at the bottom of the ribbon box and a few water droplets embellishments.
