Welcome back to another challenge for Crafty Boots. This week Kerry has chosen the theme 'flowers' to remember Rhianna Lily's birthday which would be this week. Sending you much love, Kerry.
I used Paperartsy Fresco paints on my tag (there's a surprise!) and Jo Firth-Young's stamps for Paperartsy.
my starting point was a tag that I had used to mop up various colours of Fresco paint by swiping the tag through the paint on my craft mat and wiping off the paintbrush... a right mess you would think!
knocked back the paint with watered down snowcap white to make it less opaque but leave some of the background showing through.
Then stamped various of the Jo Firth-Young stamps in black archival, before painting them.
close up - stamped the words amongst the stalks.
Used a white pen to scribble over the zigzags on the leaves and stalks
Great tag Helen, I do like those JOFY stamps.
