A pocketful of posies .... and a puss!

Hello Lovelies! Well I've taken your advice and am resting up today - my back does feel better although there's still a niggle so I'm going to leave all exercise off the agenda for the next couple of days - in the hope that things feel better in the end! Thankyou for a reality check - I sometimes get lost in stuff!

I have a tag to share with you today - its using one of the new Indigo blu stamps - its a stunner of a stamp and i just had to combine it with some older stamps and stencils to create a floral background to go with their new challenge which is called a pocketful of posies.

Here's the whole thing - I started by stamping the image in versamark and adding black wow powders then heat setting. Next I worked with distress inks to build up the colour in the tag - I used mustard seed, ripe persimmon and dried marigold.

I added more interest and layers using the floral stencil - sorry can't remember the make - then added asome background stamping of indigo blu flowers in ripe persimmon.

I added the indigo blu friends stamp in black archival then darkened the edges with black soot distress ink and added the orange bow.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

I'm off to gerdening club now - then i have tidying to do this afternoon and a walk this evening before heading out to the cinema to catch Far from the madding crowd. Looking forward to that one!

Enjoy your day - whatever you do!

Hugs
