Happy Sunday everyone,

I have had a bit of fun playing around with some stamps that haven’t been inked up often enough. It is my very special friend’s birthday, so I needed an appropriate card.

I have used one of the sketches from the current Hero Arts April challenge (as soon as I saw the sketch I knew I had to do something with it). I also decided to play along with the current CAS-ual Friday’s Opposites Attract Challenge CFC #48 (I have used blue and orange/yellow)ย  and finally LilyPads Cards have a flower Challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

I had fun making the flower tendrils – I put Glossy Accents on some twine and then wrapped it around a paintbrush until it dried.

Supplies

Stamps: Hero Arts Layered Flowers (CL496), Hero Arts Find Joy (CL497)

Ink: Distress Inks – Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Chipped Sapphire, Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint, VersaFine Onyx Black

Card: Regal Craft Card – DL textured (card base cut smaller than a DL size), XPress It Blending card, Acquarello Watercolour paper

Other Supplies: Blending tool, AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm twine – white, 3D foam adhesive, Arbee Glue on Jewels – round clear, Kaisercraft gems, Glossy Accents, Vellum, Hero Arts ultra fine clear embossing powder, heat tool, Watercolour brush

Thanks for taking the time to drop by. Until next time,

Marion
