It's all about flowers.....

....at Lily Pad Cards. Flowers are the theme for the Simon Says Stamp sponsored challenge. That's a pretty wide open theme, perfect for letting your creativity run wild. Check out the post at Lily Pad Cards HERE for more details.

A flower theme gave me the opportunity to play with the flowers in the new Flutter By stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I masked and stamped the flowers randomly. Then I stamped one of the butterfly images in the background to look like leaves. I framed them with Hero Arts Simple Frame, stamped once on the flower panel and trimmed, then stamped again on the background patterned paper.

I colored the flowers with Letraset markers; I just love the how the blue in the background makes the flowers pop. The combination of stamps and colors gives this a stained glass window effect. After I was done with the coloring I stamped Old Letter Writing with Pumice Stone Distress ink over the top.

Make sure to visit Lily Pad Cards for this flower fest challenge. The design team has made some fabulous cards to give your creativity a jump-start.

Have a lovely weekend,

blessings,
