Flowers all the way



Time for our monthly challenges at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More where our themes are and Summer Blooms and Dies and Punches. We are still away so another scheduled post which I hope pops up on time, one can never be sure with blogger.

There is quite a lot of Penny Black going on this month with both my DT cards, the one at the top is my Stamping Sensations make using the gorgeous Hollyhock stamp from PB stamped onto a background of Dylusions and stamped a second time to decoupage. I did a bit of random stamping around the edges and added some grunge paste through a distressed lattice stencil.


My Penny Black piece is again rather inky, a background created with Dylusions onto the reverse of Centura Pearl and the obligatory spritz of Glimmer Mist pearl to bend the colours and add a bit of shine. Next I added some grunge paste using honeycomb stencil and ink to add some sunrays and some randon stamping around the edges, music here and there and a Penny Black quote. Finally some daises using a Penny Black die cut from another piece of card sprayed with Dylusions.  I wasn't at all sure what I was going to do to for this months theme but am actually quite happy with what I ended us with.

I do hope you will join in this months challenges, we have some awesome prizes to be won.

    Absolutely gorgeous B, I especially love the vibrant colours of your first card, you talk of techniques, I have no knowledge of, must investigate, I've bought a few stencils but apart from inking through them I've not tried anything else. Hope you're enjoying your trip to the seaside, Julie x
