Grown with Love

The lastest challenge is on at Let's Squash It....


I'n not sure if my card really fits the challenge as my folder is not a nature one - other than it is a  weave pattern and my card is the Nature theme.  I used some watercolour pencils to colour it in.    So I am pushing the bountries a bit. 


My stamps come from a freebie set with Simply Cards and Papercraft #214.   The background panel is coloured by smooshing Old Paper distress ink onto my glass mat and spritzed with water and dipping my panel through the watery mixture.  I added the burlap and added the embossed panel over the top then added the pots of herbs.  My panel is added to a dark green card base. 

So ladies, if this doesn't fit the challenge... just let me know. 

Update on my health:  Still coughing a lot and stuffed up.  Doctor's advised me to stay home till Wednesday.  So more time resting up and reading and crafting.

Fabulous card Dawn - love the embossing layer over the burlap, it adds so much texture to the card
I gave up on buying magazines - I was accumulating stamps I didn't use, and I had to downsize, so a lot of the magazines 'went'...
Stay safe

Sounds like Archie needed to wear a mask--haha! We've actually talked about wearing masks during flu season even though they aren't required. I don't know if your card fits the challenge, but I really love it!

Ha ha ha challenge police nee nah nee nah. Lovely card Dawn. Burlap/hessian that's a natural fibre and all that splashing around on the craft mat with your distress colours works for me. Challenge police well happy. Get well soon. HUGZ
