Hot colours and passion

 

Here are the two cards for the mid month reminder I am on the DT for at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations.

My first card is for the theme Summer Flowers at Stamping Sensations challenge.

I've had this Uniko Passiflora stamp set for a while and this was the perfect opportunity to use it. I do love passionflowers. I tried to take a cutting from this plant in a friends garden a few years ago but it never took.

I used this variety as my guide and could not get the colour I wanted onto white card. Eventually I found a snippet of cream pearl paper that worked. I sprayed the leaf stamp with water before using to give a textured effect. The background trellis is part of a much larger TL die.

Finally I add a little hummingbird by Concord and 9th which is one of my latest buys. 

My second card is for We Love Stamping  challenge with the theme of Anything stamped/option hot sunny colours.

I used a Lavinia stencil to create a hot sunny background for the feather stamp which is also from Lavinia. I then mounted onto a scalloped edge card and added some doodling around the edges with a few pearl drops.
