Summer flowers and hot colours

 


Time for the new themes for July at the monthly challenges 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 used a stencil to create the background and then used a set of Sunflower stamps from Creative Expressions. Colouring with DIs and a little water. I cut out using an old Gummiapan die rubbing a little gilding wax around the edges and then splattered with some gold ink.

The prize is a £25 store voucher from Crafty Individuals

My second card is for We Love Stamping  challenge with the theme of Anything stamped/option hot sunny colours. Would you believe I got inspiration for this card watching the Antiques Roadshow. Not from the antiques but a skirt someone was wearing in the crowd!

I took a piece of card and used DIs to create a blended background then used a PB set of stamps. I cut another piece of the background to create the banner sentiment.

Our prize this month is ...
Mixed media bundle from Oakwood Archer

Two really fabulous cards, I love the stencilled background on the first and that amazing blended sky on your second. It is funny how inspiration can come from something very random xx
