Swirls at FSC



Hello and welcome to another Sunday challenge over at Fashionable Stamping - and.........there's lots of news to tell!
Our first piece of news is that FSC has changed – we now have our very own DOTCOM addresss!  If you have us in your bookmarks or favourites can you please make sure that you update our link to  www.fashionablestampingchallenges.com.
We also have a new sponsor - Flonzcraft who will sponsor the winner $20 from his store.        And ......We also have a wonderful Guest Designer for this Challenge - Astrid.

         
For my DT piece Idecided to go with pastel Spring colours and  have used IndigoBlu stamps -  'Ella'Bella' - just love these swirls and for my background I used the Vintage Flourish which was first stamped on white cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear EP, I stamped again with Bundled Sage DI, coloured with DIs and then used a tissue to remove the ink from the embossing.  I used the same DIs on the Nesti Diecut (Romantic Rectangles) before stamping my image with Archival black, I added Glamour dust in her hair, but it hasn't shown. The sentiment is Inkylicious, stamped with bundled sage and again heat embossed with clear EP. The flowers, TH Tattered floral dies, were stamped with the Flourish before distressing with Spun Sugar.
I do hope you will join us this fortnight, and if your need some inspirations, my fabulous Teamies have as usual created some amazing pieces, so please pop over here to take a look.
I am entering this in:
  2 Sisters - Pastels
  4 Crafty chicks - D for Dies
  Crafty Bloggers - Spring or Pastels
  Pan Pastel - GirlyTheme

I wish all you Mothers out there a lovely relaxing day (hopefully with time to craft). I'm off to DD's for Lunch - this is a first! and I don't intend to offer to wash up afterwards!!!
Have a great Sunday

The black silhouette image is just amazing! It makes your colors pop and the accent of the die used behind it adds even more elegance. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at 4 Crafty Chicks.
