Art In Bloomin Pink ....

What better way to spend a Saturday evening relaxing .... paints out, stamps out and finally some time to join in the current challenge at Country View Crafts.


I love tags but wanted to try and create a slightly different look using the lovely Lin Browns Art In Bloom set. I've used Fresco Acrylic Paints in Blood Orange & Stone applied using a Cut N Dry foam pad.


As demonstrated by Lin I have stamped the main flower image onto black card using Stone & Blood Orange, then cut out. I've wrapped Copper wire randomly over the corrugated tag. The stem of the flower has been created using Twine.


Using Archival Ink (Jet Black), I have stamped the word "images" from ESN08 & other sayings from ESN01. I have also randomly stamped Mini 44 again using Jet Black. I then used Stone & Jet Black on Bubble Wrap to add some more texture.
