This week's challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge is Spring themed. Spring always makes me think of getting back into the garden and as my Mum is an avid gardener, I wanted to make her a gardening card for Mother's Day (from my sister) so I thought this would be a great challenge to enter.
The stamp is Stamping Bella coloured in with watercolour pencils. I then cut it out using oval nesties and doodled around the edge and stippled olive ink onto the background. I then mounted it on a red scalloped oval. The 3 papers I've used here are all Laura Ashley which I've individually mounted on either red or olive card. I tied a ribbon around the main panel and added some layered primas covered with Crystal Stickles. The brads I coloured with copics to match the colour scheme. Finally I added a sentiment by Hero Arts which I cut and mounted using circle nesties.
Crafty stash used: Stamps (Stamping Bella & Hero Arts); Watercolour pencils; Assorted cardstock; Paper (Laura Ashley); Flowers (Poppicrafts & Ebay); Black fine liner; Crystal Stickles; Nesties; Copics; Brads (Woodware); Ribbon (Laura Ashley); Olive ink and stipple brush
The theme over at My Time to Craft Challenge is "Woman". I needed to make a birthday card for my Auntie so I decided to go for the vintage theme. I've made one fairly similar to this before but I just loved the papers and this stamp so thought I'd go for one again. This beautiful stamp is by Stampsmith. I mounted on 2 layers of metallic card. The papers are all from a kit by Papermania as are the 2 sentiments. The flowers are from Poppicrafts: the beige crocheted flower was actually white and I dyed it in a cup of tea!
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Stampsmith); Paper (Papermania); Assorted cardstock; Sentiments (Papermania); Flowers (Poppicrafts); Teabag (!); Brad (Woodware)
