Gardener Gayle

Happy Wednesday everyone, Becky here today with my Spring creation for Live & Love Crafts. There has been roses blooming in my Mam's garden for a while, so I'm not being too far out with Gardener Gayle ;)


I've coloured Gardener Gayle with distress markers, but using reinkers/pads for the browns, I just don't like how they come out in the pens. I have also used more Frantage, that stuff is hot at the minute, Sandy is getting restocks PLUS new colours on Friday April 19th, I know I'll be getting new colours, I have them all already, they are fab. I have used the shabby blue here around the image, on the butterfly and on the rolled roses. Tracy has a fab tutorial HERE, it is well worth a watch.


The papers are from Maja Designs 'Shall We Have Coffee' collection, the edges have been distressed with Walnut Stain ink.


As always the links to all of the products are at the end of the post.


Here's a close up of the Frantaged butterfly, I've added a spinner and a pearl.


Sandy also has these fab little packets in both white and kraft, they are perfect for adding a tag.


Hope you're having a lovely day.

I'm entering this into 'Anything Goes' at Saturated Canary, 'Anything Goes' at 7 Kids Challenges and 'April Showers and/or Spring Flowers' at Simon Says Stamp.

Hugs,

Becky xx

      There's not much gesso, but I've dabbed a bit on the shabby binding, butterfly and rolled roses.
      Thank you xx

    Just found this card and it's beautiful, love the image, is she an SC? Also love the stylish shabbyness of the whole card and how you list and link all the products used (really helpful. Agree the frantage looks great but I'm only just getting into embellishing and I need to take it steady I think...lol x

    Alyce thought it was different from your usual cards, very edgy somehow. Must be the frantage in combination with this image; she's not so sweet and innocent looking as most of the SC images, she looks more tough. Gorgeous work again Becky. Sandy xx
