Flower Power

First day of the month, May day, Bank Holiday in the UK and most of all... time for a new Country View Challenge! This month Monika has chosen Flower Power as the theme, so we will be looking forward to  your floral makes.
Being a bit short of time these days, I designed my card around shortcuts and using some of my older supplies.

I used this very old stamp set and taking direct inspiration from the way the stamps are lined up in the pack I placed a selection on my card base and picked them up all at once.

Then I let the inkpad do all the work for my ombre look by using the Kaleidacolor in Blue Breeze, inking all the stamps in one go.

In the picture left I show the pack from which I used the base card and sentiment stamp. It's a magazine freebie from... years ago and it came in handy!



Without further ado the finished card:


Over to you now... if you enter our Country View Challenge you could a win a £20 voucher to spend on crafty goodies so get crafting!

Thanks for coming by,






I am entering the Penny Black and more, That's Crafty and The Artistic Stamper challenges.
