Mid month reminder for Stamping Sensations

Here is my mid month inspiration for Stamping Sensations where the theme is 'Anything goes with flowers'. The stamps and stencils are from Bee Crafty. The sentiment is an Inkylicious stamp. I stamped the base card with oxide inks in peacock feathers, Blueprint sketch and broken china. I used the same colours as the background for the sunflower too. The sunflower was stamped in versafine clair and coloured with zig clean color real brush markers. I recently bought some transleucent nuvo drops that were going cheap, so I used them here and there too. I really can't get enough of this stamp! I may have to get the smaller one as well 😁

Stamping Sensations for September

Good morning, It's time for our September challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month we are looking for


 ****Anything goes with flowers****
 As the title suggest we would love to see your hand-stamped creations that include flowers. I am sure you will come up with lots of fabulous and colourful designs. 
My card's focal image is a gorgeous sunflower from our wonderful sponsors this month, Bee Crafty, in fact all of the stamps used were created by them. The background was made by blending and stamping distress oxide inks and the flowers were coloured with watercolour markers. The flowers on the left were fussy cut and stuck on with 3d glue. I finished it off with some liquid pearls.

Even though it is an easy theme, we need you to play by the rules:
Please can I remind you we are a stamping challenge so must see a stamped image which reflects the theme as the focal element of your artwork , this means:
Stamping must be the central point of attention and interest
  There is a fabulous £25 store voucher for our lucky winner. There are some wonderful stamps and stencils on the Bee Crafty website.
I had more colouring inspiration whilst on holiday, visiting Helmsley Walled garden, where they had a fabulous collection of sunflowers. I'm afraid I took rather a lot of photos of them!













Lol, sorry about that! I'm feeling very 'sunny' as tomorrow is my first official day of retirement!
Do pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at the fabulous creations from my talented team mates!
