Flora & Fauna at Fashionable Stamping Challenges

Hello, yes I'm still around - (just a busy couple of weeks!) and its time for a new challenge at Fashionable Stamping and this time it's Flora & Fauna - dictionary definition
  Flora and Fauna (flowers and animals) - Flora is the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. The corresponding term for animal life is fauna.
and as long as there is at least one 'real' stamped image on your project, it's up to you!  We are again sponsored by Flonzcraft who are offering a lucky winner a $20 voucher to spend in their online store

For my 'Flora' I used a new Noor Design Stamp, which was coloured with Promarkers, and distressed with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Weathered Wood DIs. The Prima DP was stamped with an Inkylicious Stamp in the left corner. Tim Holtz Doily and Tattered Florals for my flowers.
My very talented Teamies have some wonderful 'Flora & Fauna'  inspiration for you,  so please pop over here to be inspired.

I have been very neglectful of my blog of late, and the sunshine doesn't help - I think we need to make the most of it - don't know how long it will last  and its such a long time since we were able to enjoy it!
I have die cut and made quite a few flowers while sitting in the garden, so expect to see lots added to projects.
That's it for now, hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend, whatever you're doing.
