Here's my take on our challenge theme over at TRY IT ON TUESDAY which is called 'GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES'
Using an Inkylicious Willow Twig stamp and the grass stamp from Skinny Trees set for the background with Versafine Shady Lane, I did some first and second generation stamping.
Ink blended the background with Bundled Sage for the bottom and then used the pink, yellow and blue blending brushes without loading any more ink! It was surprising really how much there was left on the brushes and it gave just enough colour for my background.
Once the buttons were stuck I mixed a little ink in similar shades to the buttons and did a few spatters.
My only deviation from the 'circle' theme was the white heart button - (it also has some white spatters round it but you can't see in the photo) as I am giving this to a good friend who says her life is a constant battle with weeds in her garden so the sentiment seemed very apt!
Hope you will find time to join us this challenge and thanks for visiting me today.
(I appreciate everyone who takes time to leave comments and also who send me messages privately. I have good days and bad days but the good ones are now far more in number than the bad and am a lot more positive thankfully. Love to you all.x)
