I watercoloured Willow and then distressed the background in antique linen, shabby windows and peeled paint. I have had these Basic Grey papers for a while but no got round to using them. I matched the brown cardstock and matted everything so the elements stood out. I added three prima flowers (not used these for ages and they were feeling neglected!!) and some organza ribbon.
I am going for much simpler layouts and less embellies at the mo ... and am liking the results.
Off to find a cool spot to collapse until my after school lot arrive to play.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Willow with Sunhat
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Porcelin
Embellishments: Prima flowers, brads and ribbon from stash
