I began by stencilling some lovely summery Distress Oxide colours through the Foiled Again mini stencil from Stamplorations. I made sure to fade out towards the edges and I love the effect. The stamping is all done with Versafine Clair in Nocturne - the flower and butterfly are from a Marion Emberson clear stamp set called On Your Special Day and the fab distressed word 'Bloom' is from the clear Hope Blooms set by Stamplorations. I added some Stickles to the flowers for a little sparkle.
I love how this turned out and did a male version in this style that I will post another time.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Allsorts - Clean and Simple
Penny Black and More - Summer Colours
Stamping Sensations - The Earth Laughs in Flowers
Stamplorations Summer CAS
Stamplorations - Anything Goes
Thank you again for visiting me and I hope you are having a fab week!
Take care, Christine xxx
