A bit of Flonz



Morning Peeps, thought I had better do a quick post before  work and  share  my  mid  month  inspirational pieces for FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenges. There is a fabulous $20 store  spend to  be won  so I really hope you will join in this months challenge.

The one above is my take on this months theme of 'From the Garden', I love all the FlonzCraft elegant fashion ladies from the collection but I think this is one of my favourites. I have paper pieced the dress of the lady on the left and created a garden scene using Flonz blossoms across the top and grounded them with some cobblestones and a few flowers and pots. The sky and background was all done with Pan Pastels.


This second piece is a bit of a late runner as it was by second piece for the 'Wings and Things' August theme and should have been posted when we were on holiday but afraid I forgot. Quite a simple make using some DP's from stash and FlonzCraft butterflies from a trio set which I stamped onto coordinating DP, shaped the leading edge round the pattern and popped some lace behind.

Happy Wednesday all.

    Gorgeous cards Brenda. Love the scene you have created on the top one. The background with the Pan Pastels is lovely - great colours - and compliments the garden scene perfectly.
    Love the shaped leading edge of the card on the second. Very effective and beautiful papers.

    I always love seeing the way you use that pavement with the ladies & their gorgeous dresses. Those overhanging branches really set the scene beautifully too. In thes econd one the texture you created is delightful & that shaped edge so effective - especially with the lace.
