Helebore and Poppies


Morning Peeps, it's mid month inspiration time at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges where we have Spring themes along with the usual Anything Goes. We have prizes from Buddly Crafts and Lisa Horton crafts.

Above a tag using AALL and Create Tag it Yourself (27). The bloom is A&C Hellebore (1063) and a little squirrel, both stamped onto offcuts and cut out. The trellis is from Spellbinders and the sentiment stamped onto another snippet and heat embossed with detail white. I am popping over to the Snippets Playground with this one as there were lots of snippets, although I don't have a photo of them, so maybe a spell in the naughty corner? 


This one uses one of my many Penny Black Poppy stamps, this one Spontaneous Joy (40-597) inked direct to stamp with Ecoline brush pens and stamped onto an oxide background. The die frame is I think JND but no longer have the packing. One of my own sentiments.

Another gently hint to keep your eyes open for news of a new challenge, can say no more until 1st April.

Beautiful card and tag Brenda, love the stamps especially the little squirrel and stunning poppies. Wish my hellebore looked as healthy and vibrant as the one on your tag, don't know why but it looks a bit sad this year!

2 gorgeous spring cards, although bit too early for Poppies down here, no sign of them even popping their heads through the ground yet....they are sensible as the wind has been bitterly cold this week. The new challenge sounds intriguing x

Lovely cards and very spring like. I particularly like the effect on those poppies. It looks like you have painted them. I haven't used that technique for a long time xx
