AND NOW... SOME STAMPING!
Real gardening may be time consuming but I love the way you can rustle up a little flower garden in minutes using stamps and ink! Stampin' Up's new photopolymer stamp set Flower Patch is great for this. Come and see:
I stamped the flowers in a row, varying the heights of the flower heads, and added leaves and stems, using a marker to fill in gaps where necessary. Once my garden was ready, I sponged in a blue sky - it's always good weather in my stamped gardens! You can almost feel the sunshine on your shoulders and look! a little green butterfly has fluttered in to collect nectar!
I cut a square aperture out of a panel of Whisper White card stock and added a sentiment tab to it before placing it over the flowers. It's a great time to buy these fabulous square framelits - they're on special offer this week at only £17.21, down from £22.95!
The beautiful colour palette at the ColourQ was used to make this card and I'll also be linking up with Mrs A's Butterfly challenge where there's a summertime theme.

The GCSE results came out yesterday and my lovely eldest son has definitely secured his place on a graphic design course at college. I am so pleased for him and he is delighted to have finished with school! Hmm, *becomes thoughtful*, since he's in such a good mood, perhaps I can get him to help in our garden... yes, I'm afraid the triffids have landed again!Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you on Monday with more crafting ideas.
Very pretty card Vicky love your soft colours

Oh you do cheer up my morning Vicky! What a beautiful delicate card - your garden will no doubt look similar after you and your son have been at work in it. Congratulations to him on his results - did you go to Mumland again?

Stunning card Vicky.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card. such pretty colours and I do like the way you have cut an aperture out and placed over the top. Makes it look like a window out into the garden. I'm afraid the weeds have been having a ball again in my garden but on the plus side we have masses of Butterflies to watch this summer. Thankyou for fluttering by. Hugs Mrs A. (butterfly challenge).
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - the simple frame really finishes it off beautifully. Thanks for playing along at Colour Q!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, fabulous images and colours.
