The theme for this fortnight is that we want you to be inspired by a favourite song. So long as you share the name of the song, you can make whatever you want.
I struggled with this at first. I have a lot of favourite songs, but none of them seemed to work for a crafty project, and then I thought of good old Gilbert and Sullivan. I do love
The Mikado, and one of the songs from that,
The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring (Tra La) got me thinking about Easter, and this is the result.
The stamp is from Woodware. I've bought quite a few of their stamps recently, and I do love the uncomplicated style of many of them. I used Versafine Clair ink to stamp, and coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils. It's a much softer effect that I got when I last used this stamp (and Promarkers to colour) but the colours are still bright and clear. I used Distress Ink to shade around the image and sentiment. The sentiment is another Woodware stamp, and I stamped it using a Kaleidacolor ink pad in, aptly named, Blossom shades. I think stamping sentiments in variegated ink pads could become a favourite of mine!
I do hope you can join us this time.
