DT Project #2 Sunrise/Sunset Collection ....

Good morning everyone .... Gillian here, hope you are all braving the ever changing weather elements that we seem to have right now in the U.K!

The design team are soooo lucky to be working with this amazing collection this month ....

For today's project I have used the #12 size tag from Ranger along with various papers from the Sunrise/Sunset collection.

I've used Distress Ink (Wild Honey and Walnut Stain) through the "Checker" 6x6 stencil to build up the layers in the background along with Dylusion Spray Ink (Cherry Pie)

The paper flowers from my own stash have been spritzed with Dylusion Spray Ink (Cherry Pie, Black Marble & Dark Chocolate). The "Checker" wooden border has been inked with Distress Paint (Wild Honey) and spritzed with some Dylusion Spray (Dark Chocolate).

I've used Archival Ink (Jet Black) to stamp the circles and the "Checker" stamp from Clear Stamp No 4 and then highlighted the circle with an Epoxy Sticker. I've added some metal bits n bobs to the flowers and some Ideaology findings too. The wording on the tag is from the Ideaology Chit Chat sticker book.

Included in this months kit is *squealllll* this Finnabair Mixed Media Journal

To say it is a beauty is an understatement .... to see what I've been doing with this join us for our challenge on the 8th of April and show the design team how Anna Dabrowska's style inspires you .... one lucky person will win this Journal!

Until next time ..........
