Flowers are miracles...

The weather outside (to parody a festive tune) is frightful and to brighten my day I turned to this month's Creative Expressions DT stamp set which is the fabulous Sentimental Art by Wendy Vecchi. I wanted to make something with a hint of Spring and so used Wild Honey, Victorian Velvet and Stormy Sky Distress Inks on the large background stamp. 

For the flower I used the stamp from the Well Worn Art set with Jet Black Archival Ink. 

The ink bottle is from Destination Art (a real favourite of mine) and I stamped the bottle image twice in Archival ink as before. The first image was covered in Broken China Distress Ink and clear embossed twice to make it super shiny. I cut out the label from the second image and lightly covered it in Broken China, the edges were distressed and then edged in Vintage Photo Distress Ink (whilst I had it open I also edged the tag in Vintage Photo!) 

The sentiment is from the DT set and I still had  a little ink on the background stamp so I stamped a small piece of card, added the sentiment in Archival Ink and edged it as before. The brad holding the sentiment on was given a good hammering with my Idea-ology Hammer (I love using this!). I dyed a white ribbon with Wild Honey Distress Stain, added yellow twine and a couple of beads and my Spring-like tag is complete! I hope you find a little Spring in your day today, no matter how grey it is outside!
