Crafty Individuals have just bought out some gorgeous new stamps! One of them is this very useful and delicate flower stamp:-
I painted a chipboard heart with pink and turquoise paint with crackle around the edge which I emphasized with copper Inka Gold and stamped the flowers in the centre. I used my Tesco Sultana Bran cereal cardboard to die cut some flowers. Now I know recyling cardboard is quite normal but I had intended to paint it on the plain side! I realized, however, that it was actually white, pink, and turquoise, with text sections and I thought it was perfect just as it was! As long as you don't mind knowing the nutritional and calorie composition of my breakfast! I quite like the effect because the outside cardboard is very shiny. For the leaves I just used plain white card which I painted in two shades of green and stamped with a Crafty Individuals' script stamp.
Over on the Crafty Individuals' blog you still have time to enter this month's challenge, the theme of which is Spring Fashion, as chosen by Gio. You could win this new stamp, or any stamp of your choice! You also get a code to get 25% off your order just for entering.
