Morning and it's time for the midway "ATG/Summer Flowers"challenge reminder at
I stamped the large flowers from an AALL&Create set in distress ink onto watercolour card, then used water to spread the ink and some little added detail with Faber-Castell polychromos pencils.The stamped sentiment is from another AALL&Create set,little wooden Bee and die-cut cat from stash,randomly added to cover some marks lol.Distress ink round the edges and matted onto kraft card.
