This grid is made up of two stamps from Crafty Individuals, stamped twice on a distressed background. The panels have been distressed with bundled sage and chipped sapphire.
And a little lavender sachet:
It all of a sudden dawned on me how botanical this Bird Collage stamp was from Hero Arts.
I am in the process of making these square little lavender sachets. I have harvested and hung up the lavender bunches in the garage, just waiting for them to dry.
These are so easy to make and when done, you just throw them in a drawer or cupboard and you keep your clothes smelling clean and fresh. I usually have one next to my pillow in bed. Lavender keeps away moths and insects and apparently helps you to sleep!
This last card uses old Anne Griffin stamps, it might look more vintage than botanical. Distressed all the panels and then stamped. I colored the roses in with watercolor pencils.
The grid card is so perfect, so pleasing to the eye !
ReplyDeleteThe lavander satchet is just so sweet....I bet it smells wonderful.
Reminds me of past holidays in lanquedoc region, love the wine from there and the waterolour card
is really pretty!
Thankyou Jacqueline for stirring up all those wonderful memories !
love and hugs

Awesome creations Jacqueline, that lavender sachet is supercool! I can imagine you going into your garden and pick the lavender yourself, squeezing the petals in order to release the lovely odour! Just exquisite! Have a wonderful weekend, Ira

lovely cards and I like the lavender bag idea..I usually make paper sachets but this is lovely..what kind of ink do you use to stamp on fabric and is it a kind of muslin you stamp on?
