Hiya friends I hope you’re well. For the flower challenge in July 2019 we have the theme of pastel. My card today is super simple, featuring the concord and ninth turnabout card kit. I love it. I added some vellum and nuvo drops to my stamped panel to add interest. I hope you will join us with your pastel cards and check out the other inspiration by the design team.

The Flower Challenge – Patterned Paper
Hello This month at The Flower Challenge we challenge you to focus on background stamping. I created my own patterned paper by using a new to me stamp Anna’s Flora by Winnie and Walter and did easy copic colouring, leaving a white highlight for a more graphic style. The heat embossed sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp spiritual sentiments. There is a prize this month too so go check out the The Flower Challenge for more details.

Hi friends, For the May 2019 Flower Challenge we have the challenge of Heat or Dry Embossing on your cards. If you join in you also have the chance of winning a stamp set from Altenew.

The Flower Challenge: April Reminder – sketch
Hi friends Here is my second card to inspire you to join in at The Flower Challenge. I used lots of beautiful foiled patterned papers by my minds eye: yes please by Jen Allyson. I stamped the florals from waffle flowers bouquet builder 3 onto patterned paper too and fussy cut them. I added a little bit of grey copic to the centres for some shading but it is very subtle and difficult to see in the photos. A small Simon says stamp sentiment and Lucy’s jewels finish this off. I hope you have been inspired and will check out what the rest of the DT have made.
