We Love Stamping May Challenge . . .

I am here this morning to share my latest project as a new member of the We Love Stamping Challenge Design Team.  There are a couple of gorgeous prizes for the winner of the challenge so please do check out the blog here.

This month our theme is Vintage and here is my card . . .

I wish to enter these challenges . . . 

Fab n Funky Challenge #594 Embossing Wet or Dry 

Moving Along With The Times Challenge  #166 Flowers (2/5)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  Feminine (5/5)   

I created my own A4 coloured background.  I sprayed black card with water then added Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer Powders to the card.  I left it to thoroughly dry.  I cut the A4 card in half and scored it to create an A6 card.  I attached one of the Clarity Crafts KISS Ring of Stencils to the front of the card and tapped Versamark ink through.  Once covered I added Sweet Dixie clear ultrafine embossing powder and heated to melt.

Onto cream card I stamped the flowers and sentiment from the Lisa Horton Sending You Sunshine stamp set with Versafine Clair Pinecone ink.  I watercoloured the image and added Distress ink to the outer edges which I then sprayed with water.  Once dry I trimmed both panels to size then distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool.  I adhered the stamped panels onto my card front and added Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to embellish.

Please do come over to the challenge and join us.  My Design Team members are seriously talented and very welcoming.  Just remember to make sure you have followed our rules.  Back soon x
