I love this stamp set ! the flower is gorgeous and it also has several lovely sentiments too.  I made the background using some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, White Embossing Paste and a Tim Holtz stencil. I love that the distress ink seeps into the paste without you having to pre colour it, you don't waste any paste this way :-)

I masked the flowers and used the strip of small sentiments and a Fog Ink Pad to make the background on the tag,


I decorated the inside and used a sentiment from the stamp set. Now who shall I send this one to  ,, hmmm :-)


OOh, I just made another one this morning using the same stamps and watercoloured with Gelatos


hopefully the best is yet to come after I have had a few watercolouring lessons from Amy.. haha  :-)


So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!
