Thanks a bunch!

  

This is my first go using this set from Lisa Horton Crafts

and I love it.

A few mishaps but I am really happy with my results.

I went a bit mad with the colours lol but it is a nice

splash for Spring/Summer.

The set is called Sunflower and Roses.

You get a set of stencils and then use a coordinating die

and finally run it through with the matching embossing folder.

The sentiment is from another LH set,

Blossoming Lily.

I added some free stencilling underneath the die cut

to add some volume. You just need to keep checking

where your finished flower will be and play around with your card.

I did trim off some of the flowers to get it right up into

the corner and leave room for my sentiment.

The base card has a hammered effect.

The ink pads are all from SU and are called

bermuda bay, real red, evening evergreen, lemon lime twist

and bumblebee. I was a bit heavy handed with the

evening evergreen but lesson learnt.

I would like to enter this into
