Tim Holtz Tag Challenge - March

Well I'm keeping up with Tim's tags. OK, it is only the second month and I've only just got this month's done by the skin of my teeth before March departs.

Like the first tag I didn't have all the items so improvisation had to come to the fore again including using some wood grain embossed cardstock  and swiping Walnut Stain Distress Ink over the top to emphasise the grain.

Watering Can Template from Cardmaking Paradise

Not content with stealing February, the month thief has now stolen March as well!

I used the watering can template from Cardmaking Paradise to make a Mothering Sunday card. This template can be dressed up to the nines or embellished with restraint. 

The base card was a peachy colour with a sheen and the edges distressed with Distress Ink but the photo isn't faithful in this respect. The paper roses (cue for a song!) were made using a punch and a recycled envelope.
