All floral

 

Three cards today! The first two are for the Stamping Sensations challenge DT where one of our patrons this month is Crafty Individuals. I've used two of their stamps on my cards. CI302 floral postcard on both and CI214 1893 script in addition on the second card. Our optional theme is Summer flowers.

My first card echoes one of my favourite paintings of a ribbon notice board. It's no longer on display in a local museum, but I recall seeing it many times over the years. The lattice die is from Positively Papercraft. The background die is the stained glass window die set from Creative Expressions. I used wax crayons for the pink and yellow background and then stamped over and cut out. For the other card I used a background from my box and the TH postage stamp dies.

We have a prize of a £25 store voucher from Crafty Individuals. .

My third card is for the We Love Stamping challenge DT where our theme is fabulous florals.

I dug out an old CE stamp and die set and used the technique which is popular right now of cutting out two images and layering using an intricate die cut. I used a floral frame set from Cards by Chloe and a Phill Martin paper pad to for the background and a few assorted flower dies and leaves.
