Good morning, I've two cards to share today...this one is for our new challenge starting today at Fab'n' Funky, hosting this week is our very talented Pat K and the theme is 'June Blooms'.
I decided to try something different (for me, anyway!) this week, I used a previously untouched set of floral stamps by Hobby Art...one of those buys I really 'needed' at the time...then didn't quite know what to with! So, a bit of making and stamping onto a piece of mixed media paper that I'd previously sloshed some water and Zig pen ink onto delicately water coloured. Coloured the flowers using Zig pens and a white gel pen, added some random stamping to the background using a grey Versafine Clair ink and a touch of watery white paint through a stencil, stamped the sentiment and doodled a border. It was fun doing something a bit different!
Hope you choose to play along at Fab' n' Funky this week, just click on the link to be transported to the Challenge!
I'll be back later today with my second card.
