Artist Journal ....

Hello All, hope you are all enjoying the weekend and have managed some inky time. In between working on the never ending "to do" list I managed some play time with my new DistreSs PaInts (have I told you they are lush) ... I can't put them down and NEED more colours.


The Guru of all things DistreSs (yes Mr Tim) has set a challenge for us to create some Tattered Flowers (don't mind if I do ... would be soooo rude not to) right!!!


So following the steps Tim has laid out HERE, tweaking supplies as I needed to I created this beauty (I Love it) ....


 I've used Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean, Spiced Marmalade & Weathered Wood DistreSs PaInts.


I've used the Mixed Media Stamp Set using Weathered Wood DistreSs PaInt and Archival Ink (Jet Black).


I've also used the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Classics #1 Stamp Set. To finish the tag I recycled the cool twine & heart from one of my AFTH packages. Love the attention to detail from them.

Well that's it from me today, be sure to check out the challenge
