Care For Your Seeds

 ~THE TOP PICKS FROM OUR APRIL CHALLENGE WERE ANNOUNCED EARLIER TODAY, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE SEE THEM~

Morning Crafters,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  The sun was shining here so we went for a two hour walk through the woods yesterday.  Loads of bluebells were out, just beautiful.

The theme for the LLC Girls this week to follow is one we are all excited about, the new Pion Vintage Garden papers, the only difficulty I had was choosing which ones to use first.  Well I am always drawn to blue so I have chosen to use the  Garden 12 x 12 and Flax 6 x 6.                  

I have chosen this little Tilda that I won in a recent competition as she is ideal for the vintage garden collection sewing her seeds.  She has been colourerd with distress markers.  All edges have been distressed with walnut stain and gesso.  The wooden butterfly has been frantaged with the shabby blue and a Ranger Pen Nib added to the centre.

Here's a close up, and I have added some of my favourite snow-tex around the edges and some 2mm string pearls.

 I have used the new metal roses and have placed them in the centre of each of the butterflies. The gorgeous lace is Lace Alencon.

 I have added a magnolia doohickey wrapped so lovely tag and added some of that fabulous shabby blue seam binding, clay heart with a little frantage on it and one of the prima typo bulbs saying "Care".

I cut the little seed packet out and edged with walnut ink distress ink.  All links are below the post.

Be sure to check back each day as the DT show off the new Pion Vintage Garden Papers.
