Echinacea

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

I love echinaceas (or coneflowers ) - one of the highlights of the late summer garden, and so I couldn't resist treating myself to one of the new Woodware stamps.

I really enjoyed colouring this with my Promarkers. I kept the layout simple using some Bright Ombre Cardstock from Craft Sensations and a Pinkfresh Studios frame die.

I chose warm colours this time but I know I'll be colouring this stamp in many different colours.

Arianna Blooms

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

I have a slimline card to share today. 

I blended distress oxide ink to create the background behind the apertures and dug out a favourite Memory Box die Arianna Bloom to die cut the flower, swapping the colours over for the central flower.

    

I shortened  the stem a little bit and added lots of sparkle with a Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen.

I didn't want to waste the swirls that I snipped off the flowers , so I glued these back onto the card. I finished with some sequins. The dies I used were from Gemini, MB and Pinkfresh Studios.
