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.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Try It On Tuesday - summer blooms

Can You Handle the Pressure - anything goes

Neglected Stuff Challenge - the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set

Here's another view of my card:

For my card I picked out the colours of the flowers in the inspiration photo and used them to colour the stamped images on my card.

This was my first time using the beautiful 'Extraordinary Flora' stamp and die set from Stampin' Up.  it's one large stamp with lots of small flowers and leaves and a single die that cuts the whole lot at once.

I kept the rest of the images I die cut and you'll see them on another card in a few days' time!

I coloured the stamped images with Promarkers and then used a postage stamp frame from Waffle Flower and a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up to finish the design.

Here's another view of my card:

I've used the 'Sunrise Sailing' stamp and die set from Stampin' Up.  After die cutting the boat I snipped between the sails - it isn't cut out by the die and looked a bit odd with the blue background behind it.
