Morning everyone. I thought that I would have a go today at my very first blog challenge! Normally I don't get the time to do this sort of thing but for once I wasn't snowed under so thought this would be fun to do! So this is my entry for the StampAvie Challenge 19 - Spring. I thought that it would be most appropriate for me to use this Sarah Kay stamp as it is called Spring Is Back! The 'spring' wording I took from an old Penny Black stamp which reads 'spring is here' and just cut off the words that I didn't want. For the background panels I chose to use some flourish stamps and as you can see I used another of my Martha Stewart punches called Floral Vine! The wide open lilac ribbon came from Quixotic Paperie and the dotty ribbon was given to me by a friend of mine. The Prima flowers came from The Craft Barn and the lilac flourishes were done using my new punch from The Hobby House.
Here's a closer look at the Sarah Kay panel which I stamped using Graphite Black Brilliance and coloured using Copics. Although you can't see it very well in these photos I added Stardust Stickles here and there to make it sparkle.
I hope you like it!
