I just love Sarah Kay stamps and have just treated myself to 2 stamps after borrowing my good friend Fleurs. I thought I may enter it at Sir Stampalot not sure yet as I really like it!!

I used:

• My minds eye Wild Asparagus Flourish stamp
• Sarah Kay - Rose's Garden
• Crate paper- Sweet branch collection - Shine (light blue paper)- Hope (green paper) - Blossom (patterened paper)
• Light Blue flower brad & button were from own stash
• Martha Stewart Edge punch doliy lace
• Watercolour pencils to colour image
• Colourbox chalk inkpad - dark brown (to edge papers)
• Sweet branch rub on - Word "Sweet"

Happy crafting - Nicola

Bits & Bobs

This card was made up of bits of scrap paper & a stamp image that I stamped last week. I just can't throw out scrap bits of paper!!!

• Magnolia stamp - summery tilda
• My minds eye paper - bloom & grow
• My minds eye flourish stamp ( hard to see on image but it is in the orange space coming off the flower.)
  Another one to follow shortly. Nicola xxx

A little bit of Autum!!

Yes I know it isn't autumn but I love these colours so thought I would have a go. Plus I needed to have a go with my new Martha Stewart punch- which I purchased at Sir Stampalot after Chris did a demo with it. (I fell in love with it along with Fleur & Avril who also brought one at the same time)

I used:

• My Minds eye bloom & grow paper
• Martha Stewart Edge punch doily lace
• Magnolia stamp - Summertime Tilda with bow
• Woodware circular greetings clear stamps - Birthday & Wishes
• My Minds eye clear stamps Wild Asparagus - Banner & Flourish
• Homemade flower & added a button

I like this one as it not normally the colours I would use but the paper inspired the colouring in of Tilda. Nicola xXx
