Paper Artsy - Sprays Challenge

For the Paper Artsy challenge we have had to use sprays. 
  I was inspired when I saw Leandra's video and I realised I have that same beautiful green Adirondack spray called 'Lettuce'!  
 It was perfect for my Emergence of Spring project,
and it was perfect for moss!     

I used teabags backed with Vilene, Adirondack sprays, velvet, silk thread, silver wire, beads, rubber stamps and distress ink.

  9. Beautiful!!! It does look like moss and unfurling ferns. I've never tried sewing tea bags you inspire me to try Diana. I bet these look even better in person.

  13. Wow. It looked so mossy when I first looked at the pictures, I just stared and stared til I figured it out. Such amazing detail. I have that same spray as well, gorgeous but I always manage to get my fingers covered with it for days after I use it!

  15. So adorable! Do you know how much I love moss? A lot. I took a ton of pictures at castles and historic sites in Germany, and half of them were of the moss growing on the ancient and medieval stones. You've represented moss so well with your velvet and your beading! And I love that you're still working on teabags. Are you emptying them out before you work on them?
