Today I am showing my second inspiration make for our Country View Challenge, which this month is hosted by Rachel, who chose summer fields as the theme.
I made a tag based on wild flowers and grasses, one of my favourite themes, for which I have many stamps and stencils too!
I made a tag based on wild flowers and grasses, one of my favourite themes, for which I have many stamps and stencils too!
I used the flower stencil from the Mini Layering Stencil Set #10 by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous and first sprayed blue and green on the stencil onto scrap paper and turned it over onto white card. This gave me a tag shape in blue and green with white space where the flowers and stems should be.
I cleaned the stencil and repositioned it on the card, after drying, and applied Distress inks with Distress foam in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Mowed lawn.
I stamped a selection of small wild grasses stamps from Crafty Individuals in Versafine ink towards the bottom of the tag and finished by embossing all around the tag with Wow! Vintage Peacock EP, which adds a little shine:

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Stamping Sensations, Penny Black and more, and Ally's Angels challenges.
You have certainly captured the summer fields theme here Christine, a summers day and peace and quiet with only the sound of bird song.

Really evokative of a hot summer day. Hope you're having a lovely weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! You don't need me to tell you I adore these beautiful meadow flowers - what a complete treat of a tag. So happy I didn't miss it. I’ve not been visiting much lately – too much going on, but once Monday’s over, I should be back on form (and yes, by George, I think she's got it!).
