Close to Nature


 This week at Allsorts our theme was picked by Brenda: Close to Nature or
anything goes is also an option every challenge. 

I choose to work with  Penny Black blissful blossoms.  I recently inherited
this from my mom, so it is new to me.  I tried water coloring on this. 
 It turned out fairly well, I still need practice but I am enjoying doing some
 water coloring.  It is cut with a deckle die and edges distressed with
Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I tried a few sentiments but none
really worked.  I can play with that again when I have an
occasion I am sending it for.

Three prizes of A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create 

 
A few fun challenges:
A Cut Above January 1/28
Triple B January 2/1
Die Cut Diva's January  2/1
