Spring is in the air

 Hello Creative Friends 

Slow stitch to start a new season, using fabric scraps, 
some vintage, lace embellishments with an applique flower 
patch that I've given beads for stamen. At present it stands 
as a journal cover a little burst of spring time inspiration.


Also a little spring time tag with a layered background of 
collage, stencil and paste, tickled with PaperArtsy Paint. 

I'm not sure what this flowers name is but it's from the 
Stamps by me *Make Memories* stamp and die set.
Die cut and layered multiple times I think coloured in pink 
it does resemble Cherry Blossom, perfect for the season..


Wishing you all good health and sunshine. 

Creative Hugs 
Tracey xx

I love any and every entry that includes fabric. Yours is over the top. It is wonderful with the delicate lace and flowers. And making it from scraps is even better. Thanks for this great entry for Chris's theme at AJJ. The tag is also quite feminine and pretty.

Wow Tracey, that book is amazing. It has lovely texture, and I like all the flowers and layering. Yes, those flowers on your tag look like cherry blossoms. To spring!!!! It's good to see you've had some (or what looks like) extra art time this month. Thanks for joining Chris at AJJ and also our challenge over at Try It On Tuesday. Happy spring to you, and have a great weekend ahead. hugs-Erika

Some lovely textures going on in this post Tracey, the journal cover has so much to look at and beautiful fabric leaves and flowers. Then your tag full of lovely Spring blossoms with more texture in the background, so pleased you shared at Tag-Along (and ATC's) and Stamping Sensations Spring challenges, thank you.

Dein Tagebuchcover ist einfach wunderschön. Die zarten Stoffblumen mit Perlen und die Farbgebung vom Untergrund passen perfekt zum Frühling.

Hi lovely lady, your work is gorgeous as ever. It's great how you've combined those pieces together. Thank you so much for the kind comments over at mine too. The photo of Daisy and Alfie are the first I've done with Ai, I'm like you and a bit unsure about it but very pleased with those results. Right I'm off to see what else you've been up to. Hugs Angela xXx

Fabulous makes Tracey, such a beautiful journal cover, loving all the little details. The flowers on the tag do look like cherry blossom and really pop against the background.
