Well I eventually got hold of my new stamps today, even though the postman didn't knock but just pushed a card through the door, so I had to go and collect them from the sorting office....still, I got them..
I had some paint on a journal page, in random splodges, that needed attention!
Once I'd got colour on my page, applied with both brayer and brush and cut 'n'dry foam... I stamped the background from Tim's Papillon set, in Cornflower blue archival ink, randomly over the page. (sorry about this photo, the flash wouldn't fire!)
I applied watered down Antarctic paint to knock back the stamping...
Then added some of the new stamps from Spring Sprung and the sentiment from Urban Chic (stamped on tissue paper and blended in with watered Antarctic paint again)
The butterfly I stamped with the Orange Blossom archival, and the grasses with Watering Can.
To finish I added some of the little resting bird dies in amongst the grasses.
Love everything about this Helen!! Fi x
