Hand made flowers

Floral or Hand made Flowers is our new challenge over at
Fashionable  stamping Challenges this week.

My DT sisters have been making some fabulous examples, so please pop over to take a look and get all the details.
I hope you will join us this time, remember we like to see Stamping on your entry to the challenge.

As some of you already know, I love using my Loom to make flowers, so once again is the result. This time I added a base  flower shape then topped it with a die cut rose. All the stamps used are by Indigo Blu, the sentiment stamped on to a Spellbinders die cut using Coffee Archival ink.
I used Victorian Velvet distress ink for all the shading.

Bundle of Fairy Love

This weeks challenge over at Sugar Creek Hollow is' Fairies and Angels'.
As always we like your entries to be in a Vintage/Shabby Chic style.
Please pop over for all the details and see what we have all been making.

Our sponsor this week is  A Day for Daisies,
I used  one of their beautiful digi images called  'Bundle of Fairy Love', on my card.

The background layering are papers from Graphics 45 Little Darlings, the tags also came from this selection.

The colouring of the image is watercolours

I used  Wild honey distress ink to lightly soften the edges of the Nesties shapes.

As you read this I will once again be in the caravan  at an off-road Landrover event, hoping the wellies can remain in the cupboard this time. So forgive me if I cannot visit you all, I will catch up next week.

50 Shades of Pink

Found a new Challenge blog this week called In the Pink
 Their very first Challenge is 50 shades of Pink.
Now this is a colour I am not comfortable using, so this was a challenge for me.
However I think I might just be changing my mind in future.
The layers are Kanban cardstock, the remains of an assorted pack that I kept pushing to the bottom of the pile because it was pink
.To colour the webbing, I used Victorian velvet distress ink to lightly  shade it.
The image is a Hobby Art stamp, embossed with pink powder and coloured with watercolour paints.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
