More flowers for Countryview Crafts

Hello there! How are you today? I do hope you are well! I am sharing my post over at Countryview Chllenges today. The theme is Flower Power and this time I used paperartsy stamps to make a set of three cards. Here's what I did:


I worked with this stamp set from Jo Firth Young - love these flowers and it wasn't a hard decision to use this set. I started by creating a piece in bright colours to cut strips from - I stamped the large flower many times over a piece of A4 then masked and restamped. Then I used distress inks to colour the flowers in.


Next on three cards I stamped some more of the stamps over to the rhs.... Then I coloured in what I had stamped using distress inks.


Finally I cut and mounted a piece of the floral border then added them to the card.


Here's a closer iew of the top two.


I do hope you can join us at Countryview challenges for our challenge this month. You never know - you might win £20 to spend in the shop! The post to link up to is here

  18. Using the flowers as a background and focal point is a great idea and these cards do have a happy, spring feel. Gorgeous, Rachel!
