Sir Stampalot December Challenge - "Travel the World"

Good morning to you. It's first of December and time for another challenge at Sir Stampalot.  This month our theme is:-

"Travel the World"

For my card, I took a piece of glossy white card and stamped Crafty Individuals postmark stamps all over it using Versamark Ink. I then brayered over with Big and Juicy "Soothing Sunset". The images are from the Crafty Individuals "People and Places 2" book.

Our generous sponsors, Sir Stampalot, are offering another fantastic prize for this month's winner.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us last month and I hope you are inspired to join us this month.

Best wishes, Clare xx

Warm Summer Days

Good afternoon,

The theme at By the Cute and Girly this month is "Warm Summer Days".

Butterflies and flowers always represent summer for me and I've used both in my card.

The flower and butterlfy stamps are from Crafty Individuals (sets CI - 207 and CI - 226) and the sentiment is also from Crafty Individuals.

I stamped the images using Tim Holtz distress ink "Walnut Stain". I stamped over a large area on a piece of cream cardstock and then chose the section I thought look best to cut with an oval nestability. I sponged on Tim Holtz distres inks "Dried Marigold" and "Spiced Marmalade". I painted in some of the flowers with "Spiced Marmalade" and then added some "Heirloom Gold" perfect pearls (although this doesn't show on the picture).

The punched butterfly uses an X-cut punch, and the top butterfly has been run through a script Cuttlebug folder. The sentiment has been punched out using Stampin Up! oval punches.

Thank you for taking a look at my card.

Hugs, Clare xx
