Sunflowers and grunge

 




These are my monthly DT cards for Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping.

At Stamping Sensations for August we have a mood board to inspire you. Or you can do "anything stamped" to be eligible for our wonderful prizes and top picks.



You might have guessed I was inspired by the sunflower on the mood board! I used a CE Boutique stamp cut with an oval die. I then used a sentiment from my stash and cut with a smaller oval. Stamping over the edges to mirror the main image. I used a Bee EF and Graphic 45 paper for the background.


Our prize this month at Stamping Sensations is a collection of Santoto Gorjuss girls stamps/die/stickers from Craft Stash

Craft Stash is the fastest growing online craft store that specialises in papercraft for card making, journaling, mixed media and much more! We have over 10,000 products to choose from and we’re constantly adding new brands and new products from around the globe.

2 prizes, Santoto Gorjuss girls stamps/die/stickers and Woodware stamp Craft Stash 


My second DT card is for our optional theme of "masculine" at  We Love Stamping. Or you can enter with anything that contains stamped images. I used a TH stamp of the umbrella man, that hasn't seen ink for a long time as my starting point. I made a background using stencils and a world map stamp. Then I added stamps from AALL & Create. I used a Daisy Mae rectangle die to mount.

Our prizes at We Love Stamping are from Highlight Crafts two prizes, collection of masculine themes dies and Poinsettias

Whilst I love your take on the mood board with the sunny yellows and Sunflowers, it's the gorgeous grunge that draws me most, the A&C stamping onto the map DP works so well and compliments the Umbrella man perfectly.

I loved the sunflower card when I first saw it and cutting the sentiment with an oval works well. Fabulous masculine card, love the grungy background for umbrella man and the sentiment on here is brilliant.
