Summer Blooms!

Our August theme over at

WE LOVE STAMPING

is Summer Blooms!

We have two gorgeous prizes up for grabs

so come and join us!!

For my card I used a set of stamps and stencils

from Woodware from the Creative Stamping

Magazine.

I used the stencil first to get the dots,

then inside the stencil I added some

distress oxides in yellow and blue.

I then stamped over the stencil

with my chosen stamp and added

colour to the flowers using markers.

It was matted onto blue card then my base

card and I finished with a sentiment

from the same set punched using an old

SU label punch and some ribbon.

It's my turn to choose the theme for August at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

and I have gone with

FASHION.

But you can go with anything goes theme.

I pulled out an old stamp from

Art Impressions called Girlfriends.

I just used one of the ladies.

I cut my tag shape and layered it

with some striped paper from my scrap box.

I stamped and cut the lady

then coloured her up with markers

and watercolour pencils.

I stuck her in place and then added

the sentiment using AALL & Create

Sharp Tongues pack.

I finished with some black ribbon.

I would like to enter this into

Little Red Wagon - one thing

************************************

For my ATC I used the same stamp set and

cut this lady out and coloured her up with

markers.

For my background I ran my card through

with an Cuttlebug embossing folder

and some purple ink.

I coloured some of the circles with gold ink

and then added two strips of paper lace.

I stamped the sentiment from a set

called Dressed to Impress (SU)

and added my lady.

I inked the edged with gold ink to finish.
