An obvious choice for me - Flowers. I've used the floral stamp from Tim Holtz Dearly Departed on a Gelli plate background. I stamped the image in Versafine Clare Shady Lane ink and then in black ink on white card, fussy cutting the flowers and painting with Inktense pencils, then adhering over the stamped panel. I also added a little extra colour to the leaves with pencils.
The rest of the team have some lovely samples to show, so please pop over to the main challenge page for all the details.
The craft room has been somewhat neglected over the last couple of weeks as Teddy has had tonsils and adenoids removed and grommets placed in both ears, fortunately it was done as a day case, but there were extra school runs and Grandma days for Lucy so Laura could spend time with Teddy, poor little sole, he just couldn't be bothered with his playmate who just wanted to play and fuss over him. Last week he was much better, so it was Grandma days and school pick ups when Laura went back to work - was I glad when the weekend came!
It's back to normal this week and their first Sports Day on Wednesday, which is something nice to look forward to.
Thanks for calling in.

That's beautiful Avril, the flower stamp is gorgeous, beautifully coloured and a lovely soft background to set it off.
Poor Teddy, not a pleasant experience for him, I remember how poorly my son was after he had his tonsils removed- and he was a strapping lad of 16! Glad he's feeling better now and back at school- time for Grandma to have a rest!

This is really lovely Avril and you definitely k now how to use colored pencils. Sounds like the twins are keeping you busy, and I hope Teddy doesn't have any more problems with his ears. Have a great (and maybe more relaxing) week ahead, and enjoy the sports day too. hugs-Erika
Hope Teddy is improving daily, tonsil problems seem to be re-emerging, had bouts of it here as well.
The Gelli background is so soft and delicate for the pink blooms.

This is so beautiful. I had to look up that set of stamps as never heard of them, be interested to see more makes with the other stamps. I do hope they manage to have sports day in this heat.
A beautiful card Avril, love the floral spray.
Hope Teddy is recovering from his ordeal and things are getting back to usual it must have been hard for Lucy as well. as the rest of the family.
I would love to find this in my garden! I hope Teddy is over the worst now and Sports Day was a success! Hugs, Chrisx

I hope Teddy is improving and back to full health after his operation .
