Mid Month at Stamping Sensations

Time for a little reminder for the July challenge - we want to see inspiration for your makes from the  well known quote of  Emerson -   'The Earth Laughs in Flowers'
Stamping Sensations is lucky to have Crafty Individuals as our sponsors this month and they are giving a whopping £25 voucher to our winner!
Please pop over to the challenge blog , read the rules and then make something and join us!

Purple/Lilacs are not colours I use often but thought I would try them for this card.

Sponged inky piece, some random stamping with Smokey Grey ink provided the background.

The flowers and stems stamped and clear embossed before watercolouring

Fussy cut then added some Nuvo pearls to the centre.
Finished with a scrap of lilac gingham ribbon and a sentiment before mounting on dark purple card.

My teamies have some great inspiration for you over on the challenge blog too!

Happy Crafting. x

Beautiful card Viv! Love the purple and gray together, so soft and pretty. Great collage stamping in the background that compliments your gorgeous blooms. xx

Those flowers pop beautifully from your own designed background. I think the background is well designed and an important part of the design.
