Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" flower pot card

I escaped to the craft room to have a play, but even in there is it warm, so I've made this card in two stages.  Hope you're coping ok with the heat.

I started off with a piece of white card measuring 4x4".  Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the large flower pot, the seed tag and the pot plant.  All of these are part of the same Tracy Evans Boutique Designs stamp set called Blossoms Of Hope TE62".

I coloured the image using the following Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a paint brush. Antique Linen, Dried Marigold, Shabby Shutters, Tea Dye and Walnut Stain, I then used Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink, very lightly through the Tracy Evans "Distressed Background SS31 stencil". I then moved on to adding more details.  I used the same ink to stamp the months on the seed tag and the word grow.  They are part of the Tracy Evans "Special Delivery TE64" stamp set.

I then stamped the snail using Versafine Clair "Acorn" and the feather, using Versafine Clair "Portobello" brown ink.  Both these are part of the same stamp set, the Tracy Evans "Love Grows Here TE65" set.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stmapsed the "Inspired by nature" sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Blossoms of Hope TE62" stamp set.  I used Pastel Pencils to colour the flower and to add shading along with a gold and a white coloured gel pen.
