Hi, my Garden of Colours is for the Unruly Paper Arts Challenge of Inky Backgrounds............
The background was achieved by blowing the Alcohol Inks through a straw which is huge fun to do as you never know how its going to turn out.
The card was then run through my old trusted Cuttlebug with the Tim Holtz large Cabinet die cut then edged with Black Paint Dabber.
Other products used: Stamp by Kelly Panacci, Butterfly Girl in a Jar by Pringle Hill Studio, Viva Transparent Crackling. Plastic netting from a bag of tangerines, lace and flower from stash.
Yesterday we went to Sywell Airport, where the hotel etc is totally Art Nouveau, utter bliss. Afterwards I went into the Arts and Crafts Exhibition (left hubby in the hotel) held in one of their very large hangars, lots of demonstrations and beautiful things to buy. What suprised me, there wasn't a stamping company in there. Did I buy anything...................of course I did.............lol
Thank you for popping in, will see you all soon. Take care, hugs Annette x

What gorgeous vibrant colours Netty and love the quirky image. I had to smile at your tangerine netting because I had some the other day in a beautiful shade of lilac. I emptied the bag and put it carefully on one side to take into my craftroom later but forgot all about it. A day later I remembered and started searching then asked OH if he'd seen it. Funny how he'd chosen that particular item to start tidying up which is a very rare thing for him to do, lol! It had gone in the bin :-(.
