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!
