Easter/AG at That Craft Place

Hello Lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are fine and well. We're all good - we had a fabulous day in the Lakes yesterday - we took a ferry from Glenridding across Ullswater to Howtown and then walked back - it was 6 miles - and the girls both managed it really well - its the first time we've taken them on a proper walk so we were really pleased. I hope we'll be able to do it again soon!

 This picture was taken right at the start before we got on the boat - spirits were high.



Still in good spirits a few miles in.



Having a rest on the homeward straight - tired but very happy! They did so very well!

Okay - my card today - its to remind you of the new challenge that started yesterday at thatcraftplaceblog - its anything goes/Easter. Here's what I did - the JOFY stamps I used I got from thatcraftplace.

I made the background using a gelli plate and a stencil from imagination Crafts - I also used acrylic paints and applied them to the plate using splodges rather than brayering the whole thing.

I stamped the JOFY flowers and grasses directly onto the background and paper pieced the flower heads. The birds were stamped separately and fussy cut - I used my brayer to reverse the bird image - they were coloured with spectrum noirs.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
