Today is the 18th so time for a reminder for the current challenge over at We Love Stamping. The challenge where you can showcase your stamps and your skill at using them.
This month our theme is:
** Favourite Colours**
Today my colours are bright and bold
I started by blending distress oxides onto a background and then I used a stencil to add interest. Once that was dry I heat embossing a script background stamp in white.
My flowers were stamped in black, heat embossed in clear, coloured with polychromos pencils and die cut with coordinating dies. The sentiment is also heat embossed.
This card came together quite quickly and easily, just for a change! I hope you like it.
Don't forget there is always a prize to be won and this month the prize has been kindly donated by ALL and Create. Actually there are 2 prizes stamp set #453 and stencil #117. 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 (UK time) on Wednesday 1st February.
I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

A very bright and solar card Hilary, it call Spring at all! Just love your background, it's really interesting by itself, but add interest to the beautiful flowers too! Very professional as always with the coordinate envelope and inlay (and love so much that geometric stencil)!
This is beautiful, I love the bright zesty colours and design Hilary.
