I'm pleased to be participating in the Crafty Secrets/Tattered Angels designer March Mix challenge this month. What is the March Mix you ask? The designers for Crafty Secrets and the designers for Tattered Angels decided to do a month long challenge. Each Monday various designers from each team post projects made combining products from each company. Today is my day to share a project with you!
I chose a couple of sweet images from the recently released Crafty Secrets Garden Girls set to create this scene for my painted image. I stamped the images in Timber Brown StazOn ink. The image is painted with a water brush and dye ink pad refills. I used a marker to add pink blossoms to the tree.
I chose some vintage shell buttons (ebay score!) and some cute cotton lace I picked up on a recent trip to town (JoAnn's maybe?) I stitched all of my layers with my Janome Sew Mini, inked the edges with Distress Ink and a foam ink applicator.The patterned paper I used on the background is also from Crafty Secrets' Classic paper pad. The vanilla taffeta ribbon is from Stampin' Up.
Before I fully assembled the card, I spritzed all of the layers with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl and Vintage Pink. The shimmer is difficult to photograph, but it's fabulous! Click on any of the photos to see them larger.

Just gorgeous Anna! Love the scene you've created and your watercoloring is exquisite!! Wonderful project!

What a beautiful 'project'! (I think 'project' is a more apt description than 'card' since it is such a lovely creation and required a lot of crafting to put together.) What a great representation of both companies! Oh, and I love that 'rough' watercoloring--not precise but more flowing! Gorgeous work, as usual.

BEAUTIFUL!!! I have that same lace...I just love it!
I have a question...how do you use the foam ink applicator successfully??? I have 3 of them, and a ton of refills...but mine show the shape of the applicator, i.e., a rectangle. I've tried twisting it, but that didn't really help. I'm a dilbert, so I need advice! THANKS!!! :D
