It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month the challenge option is Summer Flowers. There are two fabulous prizes - a £25 store voucher from Crafty Individuals and two dies from Highlight Crafts
I always think of roses for summer flowers, so I've used one of the rose sprays from Tim Holtz. I started with a blended background of Bundled sage and Victorian velvet and then randomly stamped with Victorian velvet, I also added some script stamping in Bundled sage. I stamped the roses using Watering can Archival and stamped again on white card and fussy cut. I used Victorian velvet to colour the image.
The rest of the Design Team have some gorgeous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will find all the challenge details.
I've got a busy day today, a family lunch and then the twins, plus parents, are off on holiday for 2 weeks, I'll miss them but I'm really looking forward to the 'me' time, especially after the last week of 2 sleepovers and only 2 days off!
It's not often I enter challenges these days, but I am going to enter at We Love Stamping as their challenge theme is Fabulous Florals and also at Allsorts challenge where the theme is Summertime
