But back to the crafting stuff which in comparison to the Wimbledon traumas is a much more laid back calm pursuit...just a bit of gentle watercolouring with Distress Inks on this beautiful rose from Old Letter Rose 2 and a bit of spritzing with Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold for a vintage look...check out that gorgeous shabby wood effect paper from LOTV's Antebellum Paper Pad.
and for this one I created a simple background with Tim's Lattice Stencil and Bundled Sage Distress Ink...stamped the image with Potting Soil Archival Ink onto watercolour card...continued the Tim Holtz theme by adding the feather pen image from The Chemist...the postage stamp icon from Shabby French and the sentiment from Simple Sayings...
no colouring this time...just a layer of Glossy Accents on the flower to highlight the beautiful shadowing on the rose...
I'm off to check today's tennis schedule...may need to stock up on some tranquilizers just in case...
See you all tomorrow
