Hello All,
Firstly I would like to say thank you to everyone for their kind words on my last post, I had my most comments ever (28!) and would also like to say 'Hi' to my new followers.
I am really enjoying Chrissie & Mandi's new 'Less is More' challenge, it is so my cup of tea. The very informative tutorials are a great way to pick up tips to improve your techniques, and this week's info on computer sentiments, was so useful for a technophobe like me. Although I haven't put it into practice yet, I will deffo be trying it out! This week's theme is Spring and here is my effort.
I used a hammered card to stamp on so my Hero Arts branch has a mottled effect and I think it looks better IRL. I wiped off the ink where the flowers should be and added punched flowers instead, I was trying to achieve a cherry blossom look. The french sentiment is by Isabelle Norris for Katzelkraft.
Charisma Cardz also have a Spring challenge.
Some spring weather would be nice but as it's my weekend off, it's wet & windy of course.
TFL and toodle-oo.
