Crafting time DT post

 The theme this week is back to nature



I stamped the IndigoBlu Anemone corner using archival ink onto watercolour paper and then coloured it using my distress markers and  waterbrush.  Once the ink was dry I distressed over it using distress inks and stamped the sentiment from the IndigoBlu's Wild meadow set.



I created the background using distress inks and then stamped over the silohuette background stamp from IndigoBlu's Poppy Meadow set. I stamped the butterfly stamp from IndigoBlu's Wild Meadow set directly onto the card using archival ink, and then coloured the stamp in using distress markers before stamping it twice onto white cardstock.  I cut them out, moulded them and popped them onto 3d foam pads.  Finall I stamped the sentiment from IndigoBlu's Grand Tour III set.  Finally i added some teeny pearls.
