Seeds of Friendship

Hello everyone and I hope that you have had an enjoyable weekend. It's been lovely here, lots of sunshine but not too hot. 

Martin's mowing the lawn so I thought I would make good use of the quiet time and post a card that I made today especially for the latest challenges at Allsorts - A Challenge for Kath and Sweet Stampin' - Colours of Autumn. 

 

This is one of those cards created entirely using freebies, the sunflower stamp, sentiment and the stencil all came with magazines at one time or other. I used various inks with the stencil, including an autumnal Big Juicy pad...remember them. It is quite old and was still juicy!! The stem and pot wer coloured with Promarkers and I found some suitably coloured scraps of paper so that I could paper piece the sunflower. I must apologise for the pretty poor photo, honestly it is as crisp as anything but looks dreadful on here...never mind, you get the gist!!

See you again tomorrow xx

My Favourite Stencil

 Something totally different from me today...a stencil.

I have the total sum of two stencils in my stash ( I have used my other one here!) and this is my favourite floral one!! It was a magazine freebie a very long time ago and has survived the stash cull on a number of occasions. Looks like I was right to put it in the "might use one day" drawer!! I used distress inks for the colour and although I was reasonably pleased with the shading just felt that it needed a little something. That turned out to be another item from the same drawer, a can of pearl spray from here. I think the black frame works rather well together with the LOTV sentiment.

That's all for now. Have a good weekend when it arrives xx
