Stamps to order

Good afternoon peeps. hope everyone is OK and had a good weekend. Bit of a mixed bunch weather wise here, thunder storms and rain Saturday, cloud yesterday but today is much brighter and quite warm........even got the french doors to my craft room open which is lovely as I can her the birds, including the cuckoo and the pigeons doing their billing and cooing mating rituals.

Two shares today and what a lucky girl I am because Ruth at A Passion for Stamps said to let her know if there were any flowers I especially liked. Well that was Friday when I said I am very fond of Stargazer Lilies and by teatime Saturday this lovely stamp arrived.

So of course I set to work and made a couple yesterday (one above), although was was not too happy with either, but managed a couple more today which I am reasonably pleased with (top of post).

I printed the images onto Farbiano watercolour card and used Aquamarkers to colour both and DP from stash. The pretty embellishment on the second card is a new Marianne ribbon border die and I made a little matching rose from the same organza ribbon.

I am also helping Jules to rid our craft rooms of odds and sods of DP's, both of these used scraps, hence I don't know the make any more, although I think the stripy one up top is October Afternoon. And I always end up with so many little pieces of bazzil that I never part with, so some of that went into the mix as well.
