Flower Market Heart

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by.  I've a simple little creation for you today, using the wonderful Flower Market stamps (this was my first play with them) and a little wooden heart.

I used Fresco paints and crackle glaze to create the background, adding some very gentle inking around the edges, which I then clear embossed to give a hint of morning dew.

The brilliant Flower Market advertisement is stamped in Potting Soil Archival ink...

... as is the adorable little beehive.

Then I stamped the lavender around the edges in Olive Archival...

... and added two sprigs of apple blossom at the very top.

The very sharp-eyed amongst you may have noticed that the crackle looks different on some of these photos - well, some pictures are of the front of the heart, and some of the back - and the crackle behaved slightly differently on one side than the other...

I love these stamps so much that on this, my first go playing with them, I really didn't want to do anything else to them, so that's it for now!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I'll see you again soon.
