Our July challenge at Stamping Sensations is - 'Anything With Flowers', so there's lots of scope for you - but don't forget - we are a STAMPING challenge so stamping has to be the focal point of your project please!
Our sponsor this month is Crafty Individuals.
I had a bit of an inky fest with this card.
I used watercolour paper and Salty Ocean DI. I really like this blue and it was a change for me to use blue and yellow together.
The stamps are all from Stempelglede Vintage Garden Set. I've had them a long time and like them a lot.
The flourishes and main image were stamped in Vintage Sepia.
I double stamped the flowers and fussy cut the two largest flowers, and used Derwent Inktense pencils.
I wasn't as happy as I could have been with my colouring but am so busy travelling and doing my Presidential duties at the moment - so hope it doesn't look too rushed and you can glean a teeny bit of inspiration from it!
I simply finished the panel off by running the DI round the edge and added a organza bow threaded through a pearl buckle.
Please find a couple of spare minutes to pop over to the Stamping Sensations blog and I know my teamies appreciate if you visit them and leave them a quick comment! (Like me too!)
Bit of a quick change for me - flying home tonight then tomorrow I am driving to Buckinghamshire, then on to Bedfordshire at the end of the week. Am hoping to grab some time to come and visit you all.
Have a great week! x

Blue and yellow is a colour palette I really like Viv and you have created a lovely vintage feel to this pretty card.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend - whatever you are up to at the moment.

Goodness me Viv, I don't think Wonder Woman moved about as much as you do! It must be quite strange coming back home and then having to leave again so soon, It just shows your dedication. I do hope that you won the trophy :) On to your beautiful card now... I love the combination of blues and browns together and is looks superb here on your card. I also like how the ribbon and flowers add dimension, very pretty. Crafty hugs, Sandra x

This is a gorgeous card using that pretty blue DI in the background Viv, and the vintage sepia flourishes frame it beautifully. Such sweet flowers and love the shading, and the organza ribbon is just perfect to finish it. Hope your travels are going well and you are not feeling to tired out with the constant toing and froing. x
