Artful Times - Bloomin' Marvellous

Over on the Artful Times Von chose the theme "Bloomin' Marvellous" for this challenge because of the Chelsea Flower Show.  Don't know about you but my garden isn't blooming that marvellously at the moment,  The daffs are dying off now and all that I have are some grape hyacinths to add colour.  Mind you I do like grape hyacinths and mine seem to have doubled in volume - hurray!

I did notice, when on my way to Shropshire, that down there there was more colour than here so maybe we will catch up now that we have had some sunshine.  Anyway, enough woffle from me, here is my rendition

A decorated matchbox containing some tags.

I just measured around the matchbox and cut a sleeve from a piece of cardstock to fit.  Coloured it very lightly with Brilliance Ink over a stencil, cut a hole in for the photo to be stuck behind and made some tags. 

I love doing these decorated matchboxes and am making another now for Flat Susan (see post at top of page and join in if you wish - she would love to visit more places) as she is shortly to set off on her travels.

In the meantime please join in our challenge over at Artful Times - let's have a bloomin' good time creating.
