I recently visited my local craft shop (The Malthouse at Herstmonceux - bricks & mortar shop only, no mail order) and discovered a beautiful PaperArtsy stamp set called "Coneflowers Edition" . . . which just had to come home with me as a little present to myself!
The inky ATC snippet was ready and waiting to be used on my desk (along with a few others), so I opened up the newly acquired stamps and created an ATC.

The April theme at the Tag-Along & ATCs Challenge is Blossoms, Butterflies and Birds, (or AG) so I'm joining in using the theme.
Details:
- Snippet of an art journal page that had been used to mop up ink left over on stencils, cut to 2.5" x 3.5"
- Coneflower and words from the PaperArtsy Eclectica EAB49 "Coneflowers Edition" stamp set
- Distress Inks used for all colouring
Beautiful stamp Sarn, I love coneflowers and this is a beauty. Gorgeous background as well. Wow you still have a local craft shop? Nothing near me for a few years now!x
ReplyDeleteFabulous - I can totally see why this stamp set just had to go home with you. It would have been so rude to leave it on the shelf 🤣🤣.
ReplyDeleteFabulous ATC Sarn, love the beautiful Coneflower and inky background. We haven't had any craft shops for years and even the charity shops no longer sell craft stuff!

It must be lovely to visit a local craft shop. I can see why you bought this lovely stamp and you picked the perfect inky background for it too. Thanks for supporting us at Tag-along (and ATCs) challenge.
ReplyDeleteFabulous ATC, great background and like the coneflower!
ReplyDeleteA craft shop Sarn? A rarity these days so understand you had to by something and it's a very pretty bloom at that, made a lovely ATC with it and shared it with us as well at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge, thank you.

Love your ATC, can’t believe the background was just some mopping up! Xxx
ReplyDeleteYour coneflower ATC feels so vibrant and full of life, and I love how the inky snippet creates such a rich base for the bloom to shine while the PaperArtsy image adds beautiful detail that pulls everything together in a really striking way.
ReplyDeleteDer Sonnenhut ist einer meiner Lieblingsstauden, ein traumhaft schönes ATC, liebe Sarn.
