Good morning, time for our July Challenge at Stamping Sensations,
as you may have guessed our optional theme this month is
Christmas in July
or you can choose the Anything Goes option as long as you include stamping on the front of your project.
There are some lovely stamps as prizes, courtesy of Aall & Create our fabulous sponsor this month.
I used the Poppy Stamps bauble stencil along with Elements Inks in shades of Olive and Della Blue (love this combo!)and stamped the cute snow couple (Card-io) in Versafine Twilight (my favourite). I planned to stamp the sentiment but changed my mind and used this little die cut banner instead, I'm really pleased with the end result and plan to make it in other colours too.
Thanks so much for visiting, don't forget to check out the main challenge blog for details of the lovely prizes and some wonderful inspiration from the rest of the design team.
Have a lovely Sunday.

Lovely use of the Sweet Poppy stencil and the two colours work so well together, I don't own any Elements as heard mixed reviews but some of the colours do appeal.

Your card with the Poppy Stamps bauble stencil and Card-io snow couple stamp is delightful! The combination of Elements Inks in Olive and Della Blue creates a beautiful backdrop, and the die-cut banner for the sentiment is a perfect touch. It's a charming design that's sure to inspire others. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
ReplyDeleteWow, fabulous card! Thank you for playing at Dragonfly Dreams Challenge!
