the Secret Garden

This week, it is the uber-talented Linda Cain who is designing projects for Paperartsy and she is once again using the divine flower set from Jo Firth-Young.

I used similar colours on my tag to Linda, but I decided that my first effort was too much of a copy rather than an 'inspired by' tag -
and although I love this - the white scribbling over the lines of Jo's stamps is a great effect - I decided to make another one, using different stamps.......
this one is with the flower from HP1009, the twigs from HP1008 and the text from HP1005.

I still used the bubbles from Jo's set, as I love this.
Hopefully this is more of my own take on Linda's gorgeous original!

Can't wait to see what she has to thrill us with tomorrow!

    I've got my eye on these new stamps as well Helen. The bold colours set them off so well here.

    Gorgeous. Love all that blending on the colours of the second one - and the white just pops everything. Lovely.
