Nature in June with Floral Outline by Tim Holtz

 Stamping and masking

The new Country View Challenge for June is 'Nature' and I decided to use the Tim Holtz Floral Outline stamp set.



1. Take a TH patterned panel and stamp flower with permanent ink.


2. Use the distress watercolour pencils to colour in the design. 


3. I also painted in one of my palette and swatch colour cards ro add to my book pages.


4. Stamp image onto masking paper and lay on top of the original.


5. Stamp some text in random areas.


Pull ephemera elements together .....


..... and trial the composition. I chose a piece of patterned paper by Tim Holtz for the background.
