Good Morning all.
Its half way though June and time for more inspiration over at We Love Stamping - still plenty of time for you to join in and a chance to win lots of lovely prizes to help celebrate their 15th birthday. The theme is fabulous florals or you can use the anything goes option
Ive used my well loved crealies XL arch dies to make my card blank for burnt orange cardstock. I stamped the image twice and die cut the base layer into an arch and stencilled on umbrellas with gloss paste. Once dry I inked the edges with tumbled glass and salty ocean distress inks. I took a stencil with a sun like circular swirl and inked through with yellow distress inks and then added diamond stickles over the top to give the effect of the shining sun.
I then watercoloured the 2nd flowers with distress inks and cut out just the flower heads and decoupaged with glue gel onto the base image. I then matted this onto a larger white arch and then the base card.
In my stash i found these bees left over from previous project which were the ideal finishing touch.
You can just make out the stencilling here, the umbrellas are a soft mint colour and the glittering circular sun

This is gorgeous Emma, I love the shape and the gorgeous vibrant colours. Sorry I haven't been around much to comment on your creations but I am getting so busy with my work in The Salvation Army these days. Also I am not well at the moment and I am suppose to be flying to France on Monday. 😬
