Favourite things



Today sees the start of a new challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and this month our theme is 'Favourite Things', as always there is a generous prize of a $20 shopping voucher from FlonzCraft.

You are probably fed up hearing me say how much I love Spring but I couldn't miss this opportunity to make yet another piece displaying a few more of the lovely blooms we see at this time of year, in this one I have PB Daffodils and Tulips and Stampendous Violets, all stamped onto a Brusho background and base card made using TH Cabinet Card.

Once my card was made and the three sections fixed together with little spines, I inked the edges and used a harlequin stencil to add a little background interest.

I do hope you will join us this month and also pop over to the challenge blog to see all the super inspiration from my team mates.

Spring is a beautiful season Brenda and I'm not tired of hearing you talk about it. It fills us all with joy and optimism for the new year ahead and I never tire of seeing the new buds and blossoms appearing. Your piece of art is also very beautiful and I love the layout where you are able display more than a single Spring flower. I like your backgrounds and the touch of Brushos too, it's all so very colourful. Enjoy the sunshine, Crafty hugs, Sandra x
