Spring is in the air at Indigo Blu

Good morning all! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy! Today is the first day for a new challenge over at indigoblublogchallenge - the theme this month is Spring is in the air. I love spring time and love making spring time projects too - today I've gone all floral and decorated an apron.


I've used the giant-peony stamp set to decorate the apron and the following english cottage art acrylic paints:
banana-custardtownhouse-tealruby-slippers and peppermint-tea. I stamped the images first then painted them - and once dry set the paint by ironing.


Here's a closer look...


closer still ...


And me modelling the apron - better not give up my day job!! Lol!

I hope you feel inspired by this make and will join us at indigoblublogchallenge this month!

Big Hugs
