Stamping Sensations Challenge Reminder - Anything Goes/Summer Flowers

 

It's time for a reminder about the current challenge on the Stamping Sensations Challenge Blog:

This month our theme is 'summer flowers' or you can always following the 'anything goes' option.  Just remember there has to be some stamping on the front of your card and we need to know what you used to make my your card.  The original challenge post is here and today's reminder post is here.

Here's another view of my card:

I have to admit I struggled with this one a bit!  Every floral stamp I have either doesn't tell me on the pack what flower it is or isn't a summer flower.

After a bit of research I got out this older Stampin' Up stamp set called 'Queen Anne's Lace' which I stamped and then added a little bit of colours with my Promarkers and a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up.

The background was embossed using a X Cut embossing folder and the arch dies are from Stampin' Up.

Try It On Tuesday - summer blooms

Can You Handle the Pressure - anything goes
