I have got to say that I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment (which won't last!!) as all the Stamp Addicts cards came together easily for me as well. Mind you I really love the interactive flower stamps by Stamps By Judith - I just don't think you can go wrong with them.
For this card I stamped the medium flower pot 3 times and masked the top of the pots just with a straight edge of a piece of scrap paper. This then enabled me to stamp all my flowers into the pots. You'll notice that I also stamped some shrubbery bits in the pots too which helps it to look more natural. All the colouring was done with the Polycolor pencils (which I LOVE) and the Zest It blending solution. These pencils are so easy to work with and blend together really well. I most definitely need a large set of these at some point!!

So tomorrow I am zooming off to The Craft Barn for their Extravaganza Weekend where I will be demoing with my new stamps along with Copic Ciaos and shrink plastic on the Saturday and Coloursoft pencils and Sansador on the Sunday. If any of you live close enough to drop by it would be great to see you and don't forget to introduce yourself!! I am absolutely rubbish at names though and although I often recognise faces I can't always put the right name to the face so I'll apologise in advance now!! Anyway hope to see you there...........

Hello Kay
So pleased that you didn't struggle using your new stamps, can't wait to see the results.
Nice that you're "on a roll" & with a bit of positive thinking on your part it will last; just got to keep telling yourself that.
Love the card & last night I did something similar thanks to your instructions last Saturday but with different plant pot, flower stamps & watercolour pencils.I'm pretty happy with the result.
Have a safe journey to "The Craft Barn" & a fab' time at the weekend; if I lived closer then I would be there on both days (Ken willing) but on second thoughts in view of what happened at "stamp Addicts" I expect you'll be breathing a sigh of relief that I won't be coming.

Hi Rita,
So glad I was able to inspire you last weekend - I just don't think you can go wrong with the flower pots and flower stamps. It always seems to look pretty no matter what you do!
Don't be daft it was a pleasure to meet both you and Ken. My cards are always getting swacked about and things knocked over so don't worry about it!!

Thanks Nicki - so glad you like it!

Hello again Kay
You are being very, very generous with your kind words but I still feel myself blushing when I think about what I did ---- born worrier, that's me!!

Hi Kay,
Are the polycolor pencils you refer to 'koh-i-noor'? Would 'sansodor' work with them?

Hi Pauline,
The pencils are by Lyra and yes Sansador will work with these. As for the others you mentioned - if you have some of these try the Sansador with them and see what happens - it will depend on what they are made up of as to whether it will work or not.
