Flowers and a blue tit

 

My post today features my DT cards for the new challenges at We Love Stamping and  Stamping Sensations.

At We Love Stamping Hilary has chosen the optional theme of FLOWERS or you can go with Anything Goes if you prefer. 

Both of my cards feature the same stamp by Stampers Anonymous called Bold Botanicals. I just rotated it for each card and used an elegant writer pen to add some colour after stamping in black ink. The first sentiment is from a Spellbinders set and the second one is an old wooden mounted stamp with no manufacturer name.

Our prize this month is a £25 store voucher from Personal Impressions (inc pps, winner meets costs of any additional spend). Personal Impressions is one of the UK’s leading brand managers/wholesalers/distributors in the arts and crafts industry, specialising in mixed media, papercrafts, card-making, scrapbooking and journaling. PI are proud to represent over 70 brands from global, recognisable brands to small, niche and new.

My next card is for the challenge at Stamping Sensations where we have an optional theme of Birds, Bees, Butterflies chosen by Carol or you can use Anything goes.

I've used a layering stamp set from Hunkydory called Blue Tit and a sentiment from an old CC set.

I used the packaging as a guide for the ink colours and then used a AALL & Create stencil Avian Foilage for the background. First in a pale green behind the bird and then again in a blue for the base card. I used Spellbinders dies for the matting and layering. Using a corner rounder for the image card.

We have two prizes of Lavinia stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). (Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway).
