I just love these new images from Innovative Stamp Creations! This is from a set called Country Living, just released today.
I'm also combining it w/ yesterday's Ways to Use It challenge (use red) and today's Limited Supplies challenge (follow the list). I'm fudging on this a bit. This isn't my oldest set (I have no idea what that would be, lol). But it looks like it could be. These are some of my favorite colors (because everything can't be green), my newest tools which would be Spellbinders. My least fave embellishment, which is the very distressed edge of my frame. I usually lean toward clean edges so I hardly ever tear up the edges like this.
Both pitchers, the flowers, stems and wagon wheel on watercolor paper w/ the chocolate ink. I colored them using markers and a water brush, then cut them.
The siding like bg was created by inking the distressed lines Cuttlebug folder w/ a brown dye ink, placing the tan c/s inside and embossing. (This is from TLC160.)
The frame was created by using a large oval Spellbinders die to cut out the center. The flowers were stamped using the soft sand and brown dye inks, the edges were distressed w/ scissors and by rubbing the frayed edges across the ink pad.
Everything was assembled, a rust layer added then a tan card. Two cut out bees attached in the upper corner and the layered sentiment between the pitchers. Finished size is 5.5 x 4.25 (A2).
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them
