Good morning, a new challenge starts today at Crafty Catz, it's my turn to host and I chose the theme of May Flowers- seemed appropriate! As always the theme is optional, we're more than happy to see anything you create. We have a lovely sponsor for this challenge, ALL DRESSED UP Stamps, with a prize of 2 digis of the winners choice.
I used a sweet sponsor image, Hedgehog Flower, coloured with Copic markers, and placed it beneath a square of white CS stamped with an unbranded floral stamp then die cut a circular aperture in the centre. Originally I intended to colour the stamped background but decided to leave it uncoloured to keep the hedgehog as the focus. I added the die cut sentiment to finish.
Well, that's all from me today- hoping to spend most of it enjoying the sunshine and reading in the garden (as I have been doing for most of the week- determined not to waste this wonderful weather we've been enjoying)
Thanks for visiting
Chris

Your card is absolutely charming! The hedgehog image is delightful, and the way it stands out against the monochrome floral background makes it even more striking. The choice to leave the background uncolored was a great one—it really draws the eye to the beautifully colored main image. A perfect celebration of May flowers!
