Morning all!
Over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, we’re seeing out the month of May with a very appropriate challenge from Joanne!
In our part of the world, May has been somewhat unseasonal. Cold, wet, a bit of sun, but not exactly the gateway into summer… but all that rain has helped the garden grow.
So for this challenge I’m focussing on the result of the showers, and that’s the flowers:
Stamps: PTI – Postmarks (r), Waffle Flower – Birthday Wishes
Dies: Waffle Flower – Birthday Wishes, Waffle Flower – Postage Collage
Stencils: Waffle Flower – Postage Collage Coloring, Waffle Flower – Postage Collage Wild Flower
I of course had to use this opportunity to play with the Postage Collage Wild Flower stencils and other Postage Collage staple designs.
I’ve still not managed to grab the original Postage Collage stamp set to add the postmarks, etc. So once again I used an old discontinued set from Papertrey Ink for this.
The background colours to the different squares were coloured in using the existing ink on my blending brushes. So I just needed to elect some nice shades for the flower details and the border.
Then, once my card was assembled, I grabbed one of the sentiments from the new Birthday Wishes set from Waffle Flower. This really is a useful set with plenty of sentiments that will end up on a card for sure! Just nice to have some mixed-font birthday sentiments that get neatly cut out by a matching die.
Make sure you check out the other projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
