Things with Wings at Sweet Stampin' Challenges


 Good morning, it's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin'- the theme for this fortnight is Things with Wings- so a nice easy challenge with lots of scope- all you need to do to join in is follow the theme and make sure there is some stamping included- digital stamps are allowed, as long as they're not pre-coloured.

I was lucky enough to win a prize from We Love Stamping Challenge a few weeks ago- and what a fabulous prize it was- a set of stamps called Follow Your Own Path from Aall & Create, this seemed a perfect time to have a play with them. 

I smooshed some distress inks onto a piece of white stamping card then let loose with the stamps- plus a couple of background stamp I've had for years and never used. The large woodpecker is water coloured and  I've paper-pieced the 'this way up' arrows. I'm  happy with the way this card turned out, hope you like it too.

Thanks for visiting today, enjoy the rest of the weekend

Chris

FABulous colours and design Chris.
LOve your 'stamping'. It's fun when we find old, but, new to us stamps hidden away.
