Floral Punch Craft - Hydrangea

This was made using the Violets & Iris and the Lilacs & Daphne Floral Punch Bunch Theme punches and Penny Black stamps.

I punched out the flowers in 2 contrasting coloured paper and shaped them by pressing into the centres until they were a cupped flower I punched out the leaves in a green paper and scored in the veins and coloured them using fluid chalk inks, I built up the leaves and flowers onto a half Polystyrene half ball until it was fully covered.

Then inked up the flower stamp with Brilliance pearlescent ink in two contasting colours and a leaf shade and stamped directly onto the card.

I used black ink for the sentiment then layered this up.

Boat Scene- Watercolours

Image is a rubber stamp by Friends Stamps inxed with archival black ink and coloured with watercolour pencils, layered onto a sandy coloured card stock and a pattened paper by HOTP.
I love this scene, lazy summer days spring to mind when it is too hot to do anything but relax.

Craft Room Wall Poppies

Aren't these just wonderful? I first saw these little beauties on my friend Jean's wall and immediately fell in love with them.

From the day I saw them I new that when I got a craft room all for myself that these would have to have priority on my wall space, so here they are and hopefully very soon I will have the rest of the room to show you all.

A closer look at them, click on the image to see them up close.

I figured they would break up the white wall and give me some inspiration into the bargain.

Magnolia Bloom

Another blossom made with the pear punch, I love the natural colour ways of this card.

The simplicity of the Spiral Bouquet stamp set from PTI seems to compliment the blossom perfectly
