Hello, it's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations which is Any Celebration. We have Craft Stash as our Sponsor this month and they are offering one lucky winner this fabulous prize.
I've made a Birthday card, but I must admit after being so busy and hardly in the craft room over the last 6 weeks, I struggled for motivation - so I watched one of Tim Holtz videos from earlier in the year where he used Distress Crayons to colour an image and because the crayons are wax resistant, you can then use spray inks over the top. I stamped one of the floral sprays from Lady Rose, coloured with crayons and then used Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress sprays. There's also some subtle sheen, which doesn't show in the photo, from smudging over a little Tarnished brass crayon. Some background stamping and paper lace trim to finish, along with a stamped Birthday sentiment.
The rest of the DT have some fabulous inspirations for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will also find all the challenge details.
Have a good day and I'll catch up with you soon.

A truly beautiful card with this gorgeous rose stamp! The distress crayons sound really interesting, I honestly have more than enough coloring mediums but now I want to give these crayons a try.
