Violets

I used the post card image from Diane's Daydream Designs set called SENDING YOU LOVE.. I had to use cool colors because the Ways to Use it challenge WT 463  for Splitcoast Stampers was to use warm colors if the temperature was above freezing and cool colors if below. Since it was -4 I had no choice.... COLD COLORS. I made the violets by dying typing paper. A year ago I bought store made stamens for flowers. I have only used them a couple of times because they are white. Today I painted them yellow so that they would be great for the centers of the violets. I did ink spray smash technique onto a page from an encyclopedia. I embossed and tea dyed the top heart.

I am entering this in the following challenges:
WT463
CCEE1404
Word Art Wednesday #116

    Such a wonderful postcard. The decoration and those cute flowers are so beautiful and love the distressed look. So glad you shared your wonderful art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday. We started a new Challenge so, hope you come join us again. Leaving you with God's Word in Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

    God bless always,
    JO ANN
