Craft Barn Twelve Month Challenge : April



The verse this month is :

April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.

The challenge is to add a primrose or a daisy so I chose daisy giving me the opportunity to revisit my favourite JOFY daisy stamps from PaperArtsy's JOFY 13 stamp set.

 

I kept it simple because I think the sketchy images are so lovely I did not want to over-work this one. The background is an old book page with a light wash of gesso and some vintage photo distress oxide lightly added.
The daisies are coloured with distress markers : wild honey, spiced marmalade and mowed lawn. I added the verse and my page is done.

Happy Easter everyone.

  2. JOFY stamps are always a joy! And gesso is so useful for knocking back the print. Fabulous page.

  6. I have those stamps but couldn't think how to use them. Your page is fabulous and by keeping it simple you have shown the daisies to perfection.
