Summer bouquet

 

Good morning, the August Challenge at We Love Stamping begins today, the theme for this month is SUMMER BLOOMS or Anything Goes

There will be a lovely prize for two lucky winners.

Two prizes, Penny Black stamp and stencil and another stamp from Buddly Crafts (photo's not to scale).

To make my CAS card I stamped the image, a Penny Black stamp, Bouquet ballet onto white card and coloured using my Copic markers, then I chopped it into 3 pieces and matted it onto a slightly larger green rectangle. I added the tiny stamped tag (LOTV) with a scrap of green ribbon and a few clear gems to finish.

As always, you will find loads of inspiration over at WLS, along with full details of how to play along with our challenges.

Thanks for visiting, have a lovely day.

Chevrons or stripes at Sweet Stampin'

 Good morning, this is my DT card for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme is 

CHEVRONS OR STRIPES

I made this for a very special friend's birthday, he'll be 92 in September, although you would never believe it if you saw him, he really does wear his years very well.

He is a hero, one of the last surviving veterans of the Korean War, his regiment was the Royal Engineers, my card design is a nod to his passions- his patriotism and regimental colours...and motorcycles! The panel with the chevrons was created with a stencil, the motorcycle is stamped and embossed with white EP (sorry have misplaced the stamp, will add the make when it surfaces!) and the sentiment stamped and embossed in gold. 

There's more inspiration from my lovely teamies over at Sweet Stampin' so do pop over for a visit!

Thanks for looking, have a good weekend

Chris
