Summer colours and not a tag in sight!!!!! second post today..

hey there ,
well for those of you that are kind enough to stop by regularly, you will know I have a bit of a thing for tags!!!so you will be shocked to see that there is not a tag in sight today!!Shocking but true..
so here is my crafty offering today, inspired by Hels challenge for Sunday stampers, summer colours:
These are not my usual colour choices but I love joining in with Hels Sunday stampers so I gave it a whirl . i started with a small screen which I had crackled a long while ago and added some distress inks in summer colours.Then when dry...had to be patient so as not to ruin my crackle no heat gun blasting allowed...
So when dry,  I stamped a fab Wendy Vecchi stamp in coffee archival and then when dry a smaller flower stamp in black archival.The quote was also stamped in black archival and i do love this quote.

i added some summer coloured flowers made with the movers and shapers tattered floral die ad spritzed with perfect pearls, a small key and some butterflies.oooh and this likkle spider stamped in black and some glossy accents added to his body.
The butterflies were made using a Wendy stamp, some fab fab fab clearly for art film and some alcohol inks.I love this stuff, can you tell!!?!!

Well there you have it..
let me know what you think?
