A Passion for Flowers and Saturday candy

Morning Peeps, this week I am hosting the theme at Allsorts and a few weeks ago I asked the DT if they would like a bit of a challenge themselves, well they seemed up for it so I sent them all a little kit of similar goodies to play with and see what they came up with. Needless to say they didn't disappoint..............not that for a moment I ever thought such a talented bunch would and you really must pop to the challenge blog and look what they all came up with.

Here's the kit they all received, the DP's varied slightly but are all DPs' are  from the same MME Bluebell range so colours match and as one of our sponsors this week is Ruth from A Passion for Stamps I thought it a nice idea to send all the DT a die from her Tonic Pick of the Bunch range along with some petals to make flowers from her new Punch and Stamp Range (and yes I did send them all a copy of the instructions).

I used the TH fence and arched window and placed over an image which is one of the stamps Ruth created to go with the dies. I also went for pansie, I've probably said it before but I think the little stamps to go with the petals are so clever and make the pansies so realistic. As I told Ruth, praise indeed from my daughter who's not at all into crafting beyond regularly plundering my baskets for cards, but was very impressed with a card she spotted in my craft room using the pansies.

And the them is simple 'A Passion for Flowers' so leaves plenty of possibilities for your entries which I looks forward to seeing and our sponsors are A Passion for Stamps and Crafty Ribbons.

I also made a second card to use up the last piece of DP from the pad, another of Ruth's dies, an Artistic Outpost stamp, decoupaged the flowers and repeat stamped the little birdies from the bottom of the sentiment stamp to create a row to place across the bottom of the card.

And last but by no means least, here's this weeks candy, a little collection of Spring coloured ribbons, lace and embellishments, as usual a winners will be selected at random from all comments left during the week......... if you leave more than one then you get entered again, simple as that and the only other requirement is that......................
