Tim's feminine side

Hello there!  How are you? I hope you are well and happy. Today I have a post on the Countryview Challenges blog. The theme for the challenge this month is 'inspired by Tim Holtz'. This time I have decided to work with Tims more feminine side and have made a card for mothers day on Sunday. I am sure my mum won't see this as we are in transit just now and I suspect computers won't be on her mind when we reach our destination! So I am safe showing it here!

I have used distress inks in a variety of colours (ripe persimmon, dried marigold, wild honey, ) and two of the new stencils from Tim Holtz plus the flowers and dies to cut them. Here's my step by step....

Here I used the distress inks to create a base background and added water by spritzing and flicking.

Next I added abandoned carol through  the first layering stencil ....ornate.

and then through the next layering stencil ...floral.

Next I cut the flowers and stalks using thinlet dies. Then I stamped and coloured them using distress inks and the stampers-anonymous-tim-holtz-stamp-set---flower-garden-.

I then glued the flowers on and added the words.

I do hope you can join our challenge which you can link up to here.

Have a great day!

Hugs
