'SOOTHING MY SOUL'

TODAY I am showcasing

 IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS CHIPBOARD .

SPRING is a time when life is stirring in my garden …  soothing and calming my soul .

I chose to use the color combo of blue and yellow, reminding me of the blue skies and the warm sun and the riot of chaos and color provided by the yellow and pink pansies,  dancing among  white daisies , mingled with rich blue violets  brightening  the damp shady corners of my garden ..

'BLOOM'

 I inked the clock with Tim Holtz distress ink -rusty hinge, and added a tiny dab of Polar Blue versa color ink 

The alphas and leaves are also inked with versa color ink – Topaz  ..

 My Handy tip

While the ink was still damp I scratched some markings on the leaves with a fine pen to add dimension and texture

and I have popped in a couple of gorgeous rose buds among the leaves available from 

GREEN TARA
