Inspirational #215 ~ Spring Flowers + Lindy's Stamp Gang

     Spring flowers are in bloom with Inspirational #215, hosted by Barb, at Red Rubber Inspirationals! Originally I was just going to make these tags, until I remembered this photo of Prosser Lake in Truckee, CA with the flowers in bloom.



     It worked perfectly for the April color challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang!



     I started by cutting 3 tags from white cardstock with my Cricut Expression (Plantin SchoolBook) at 4". Then I used a spray adhesive to apply cheesecloth to the tags. I applied gesso to the tags using the Textured Stencil from TCW, and once it dried, had fun with my Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays! Starting with the tag on the left, I used Witch's Potion Purple on the bottom, and Cotton Candy Pink on top. For the middle tag, I used Cathedral Pines Green and Mystic Malachite on the bottom, and Tiffany's Blue on top. On the third tag, I used Yellow Rose of Texas on the bottom and Cotton Candy Pink and Witch's Potion Purple on top. After machine stitching the tags, I added the fussy cut stamped flowers that I made with Charcoal Flowers from Red Rubber Designs. I also stamped the purple swirls using Butterfly Flourish.



     I misted the background and dyed the lace with Cotton Candy Pink and Witch's Potion Purple. I also used the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil on the background with Distress Inks (Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves). In between the tags, I added some vintage buttons.


Thanks for looking!
