During our walk this morning, Bowser and I were admiring the wild flowers against the fields, admittedly I was more admiring than Bowser! However, I was inspired to create this tag.I managed to juggle the dog lead and the camera and the bag today to get a couple of snaps. Unfortunately this lovely countryside will soon be covered with 2500 houses courtesy of East Staffs BC. Soon we will have to drive somewhere to talk the dog for a walk - how mad is that!
Anyway, rant over and moving on, this is what I did.
Distress paint for the background. PaperArtsy and Crafty Individuals stamps which I then embossed just the butterflies and flowers with Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder and a Versamark pen.
The dragonfly is from Vintaj and I finished with some painted seam binding and then some Rock Candy Crackle Paint.
Bowser looking a bit wet and not that admiring to be honest!
I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges:-

Great minds and all that Rosie, I did the very same this morning walking round our paddocks, the headgerows are looking glorious. And when I came back I got out my inkylicious and CI wild flowers and weeds, but not got as far as creating anything yet as work was beckoning so that's for later.
ReplyDeleteBack to your tag and it has a true feel of Nature and the countryside and of course I love it.
