Just Fabulous!

Hydrangea x 3

I have been having even more fun with the Clearly Besotted May release – this time with a stunning set called Just Fabulous.  The name of this set just about sums it up!!  There is a stunning hydrangea bloom (an outline and a block stamp) so whether you like to colour or prefer to stamp solid images – you’ll love this set.  I did a wee bit of masking on this card and stamped the main flower image 3 times before getting to work with my ProMarkers.  I’m still in my yellow period as you can see – must be all this fabulous weather we’re having!

By the way, I’ll be popping back tomorrow to announce the winner of my little blog giveawy – so make sure you stop by if you’ve entered!

A Passion For Papertrey – Stamp Your Own Background Challenge

Hooray for sun!  I am in such a happy mood because we have had 3 consecutive days of lovely sunny sun and I LOVE it!  Makes you want to drink cocktails and sit by a pool (hmm, wish I had one of those!!).  Anyhoo, onto the reason for the post!  It’s new challenge day over at A Passion For Papertrey and this time we want to see your stamped backgrounds.  Simples!  Because of the glorious weather I was drawn to shades of orange and yellow for my card and used the gorgeous hexagon border stamps from Rosie Posie.  This card really remind me of that film “Bee Movie” – lol!!

Hi Honey

I paired the pattern with a very appropriate little sentiment from Clearly Besotted’s Build A Bug stamp set!  I hope you can pop over to the blog and join in the challenge.

Clearly Besotted – May release!!

Hello all – here with news of the imminent release of new stamps and dies over at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  This release features more stunning designs from Steph and Jenny and again – there’s something for everyone!  One of my favourite sets in this release is “Thinking of You” and features two stunning stem flowers – a lily and an orchid.  I couldn’t wait to colour the lily – they’re one of my favourite flowers.  I used promarkers and added a bit of sparkle with some glitter and gems to finish.

It’s a beautiful weekend here on the Wirral and the Sunday roast is already in the oven!  I’m of to the garden with a cuppa – enjoy your day where ever you are.
