More words and letters for our March Country View challenge

Well our weather certainly went topsy turvy! From hot sunny days we have had wind, rain and much cooler temperatures. The flowers have loved the rain though as we have had a very dry winter here in the UK.
My garden flowers are doing well especially my potted hellebore, just look how many buds have opened now!


It is time for my 2nd DT inspiration card for our March challenge over at Country View.
For March our theme is "letters/numbers" and we would like to see letters and/or numbers taking up a prime position on your projects.
You can enter our March challenge as many times as you like and combine with other challenges. There is also a £20 crafting voucher up for grabs to the lucky randomly selected winner to spend over on the Country View Crafts on line store. Remember that UK postage and packing is absolutely FREE! All the details for the challenge can be found here.
If you missed my first card you can see it here

This card was made for one of my longest blogging friends who adores all things pink...as you well know it's certainly not my chosen colourway!
 I started by making a paint resist background using Tim Holz stamps.
First I stamped some words from his hedgerow set+ using white acrylic paint. Once dry I blended over picked raspberry, spun sugar and Victorian velvet distress inks. I added more words and numbers using archival inks.


I stamped some numbers too. I also made some die cuts from Tim's original wildflowers, mixed media and butterfly frenzy sets. The foil heart was cut using his heartfelt hearts Bigz die.
 I then put everything together and finished it off with a bow and a Tim die cut sentiment.

Here is my finished card.
and a couple of close ups.

  11. Jane, your beautiful card is done in just the perfect pink. Not a particular fan of pink, myself, I'm delighted in how you've used it here. Love that mixed media background and fabulous design. I'm particularly impressed with how you outlined those numbers on the bottom with the die cut--clever!
