Florals...

I have been playing in my small kraft journal.

Inspired by a 'live' by Natalie May, I did the right hand side page first, using shimmery watercolours and the Stampendous stamp set Rose Friend. The sentiment is from Stamplorations A Cupful of Blooms.

I used a Micron pen for the penwork.

I then went onto the second (left hand side) page using Altenew's Brush Art Floral stamp set.


I used various stamp pads to stamp the images, I added penwork with a Micron pen and gloss sprays for splatter. (I went a bit mad with this!)


Because the right hand side is quite shimmery and shiny I decided to add some shine to the left hand side. I over stamped the images with embossing ink and added clear embossing powder.


The sentiment is another from the Stamplorations set.


So that's my two floral pages in my kraft journal...


I then decided to use the Altenew Brush Art Floral on a card. I used various embossing powders to form the central floral image, which I then cut out.
The sentiment is from Altenew Crafty Friends Stamp set.


I used snippets from my scraps for the background and added three sparkly sequins. 


This was inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #434 where I will link this card.



I will also link this card to
