mid month inspiration - anything goes at Imagination Crafts

Hello lovelies - how are you today? If you're not so good here's a hug! We're ready for a busy day - we've got biscuit making planned and also some crafting - and possibly some swimming - and I'm hoping to go out hashing tonight - its where you follow a trail laid in flour! Been once before and it was great fun.

This is my first of two posts for today - its mid april already - wow - how did that happen! Anyway - here's what I've made:


I've created a card using the fuchsia decoupage stamp from imagination crafts - colouring is in distress inks - the same that I used in the background through two stencils (honeycombediamond background) from imagination crafts. I've used some of the small stamps on the stamp set in the background also stamping in crushed olive distress ink and finally layered onto card.


I also made a little pot using the Bay Leaf stencil from Imagination crafts and the gold shine sparkle medium.


I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Sweet stampin'sweetstampinchallengeblog: Flowers
Allsortsallsortschallenge: Spring Blossoms
Penny'spennyschallenges: Flower power

Check out what my teamies have been up to here.

Hope you have a great Tuesday - thanks for visiting - back again in an hour with my penultimate posting for Crafty Sentiments. Hope to see you then!

Big Hugs
