Aqua Florals

I don't make many floral cards..... not sure why as I love flowers but my favourite sort for

 cards are sketchy, whimsical flowers just like these below....

This is just the sort of pattern or print I would be drawn to in a clothing shop.

I started with a light blue colour wash over the stamped images and removed some

 of the colour from the flowers with a piece of paper towel.

I used Distress Oxides to over-stamp with the solid images... 

those inks are fast becoming my favourite ;)

Extra doodling is courtesy of a black fine-liner and a white gel pen and 

I added a sentiment label from Altenew.

Stash used:

Sketched Blooms 2 - MFT stamps

Bring on the Big Gifts

I broke out this new stamp set from Newtons Nook called Holding Happiness...

 love the girls holding the large parcel and cake :)

If you're not so up on colouring people these stamps are great... 

colouring hair is not my thing so these are fine ;)

 I used distress inks to watercolour the images and had you noticed both ladies

 are colour coordinated with their gift!!

I had a rummage through my stash to find different sentiments to use and this Big Hugs die from Neat and Tangled was quite easy to adapt for the sentiment too :)

Stash Used:

Holding Happiness - Newtons Nook

A Tropical Frame

I was obviously dreaming of warm weather subconsciously when I made this card and it seems to have charmed the sun out this past week!!! I decided to ink up these whimsical leaves and florals to make a frame using lots of masking and fussy cutting!!

I quite enjoy both fussy cutting and masking... the toucan was a bit more tricky and the edges a little more rough than I'd have liked but hey ho.

More details on the Seven Hills Crafts blog here if you're interested.
