Today is the first Sunday of the month, so time for a new challenge over at
We Love Stamping where you get the opportunity to show off your love of stamping. This month the theme is:
** For a Lady **
I have been finding it hard to come up with ideas recently and was in danger of falling behind with my DT duties, so in order to come up with this card I sat down and went through all my stamps and settled on this pretty wreath, which came free with a magazine. I think it was one of the first I ever bought.
I stamped and heat embossed the wreath and made a rough mask for it from copy paper before stamping the background lattice pattern. I used a small blending brush to add colour and added detail with colored pencils.
The sentiment was done on the computer and the little gold dots made with a gold gel pen. I also added a few tiny gems to finish it off.
Don't forget there is always a prize to be won and this month the prize is a Field of Dreams paper pad and stamps from
Craft Stash. Why don't you head over to the
challenge blog to check it out? The prize winner is selected randomly and in addition the DT will choose one entry to join us as a guest designer for a future challenge.
I hope I have inspired you to join us this month, all you have to do is follow the prompt and ensure stamping is the main focus on your card. The challenge will close at noon on Wednesday the 1st June.
I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.
