It's time for our midway post over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

where this month's theme is

summer blooms or anything goes.

We do have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us!

For my card I used set number 229 - blooming field

from AAll & Create.

The paper I used for the background is a very old one

from We R Memory Keepers. It's actually a 12" x 12" sheet

which I had to carefully cut down so I could get

that lovely frame to work for my a5 card.

I covered the joins with butterflies and it worked out well.

The flowers were stamped, coloured with markers

and cut out.

I stamped the sentiment below and added a ribbon

to the flower stem.

For the sentiment I punched  (SU) out the shape twice,

once in cream and again in pink.

I added some tails of the same ribbon underneath

the sentiment.

To finished I added some sequins to the butterflies.

It's also time for our midway post over at

WE LOVE STAMPING

and the theme is sun, sea, sand or anything goes.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too!

For my card I have used an embossing folder

from Crafters Companion called Charming Coral.

I embossed it onto blue card then ran my

white ink pad over the top to pick up the embossing.

The stamp set is called Marine Life

from Globleland (Amazon).

It's a one piece stamp so I stamped it out then

cut out and coloured up the ones I wanted.

I used a die cut circle for the centre, added

my sentiment from a set called Sending Support (SU)

then filled up the gaps with the shells.

Before sticking the circle in place I wrapped

the blue card with some netting.

I finished it off with the coloured up items.
