Summer Flowers

Hi everyone.  Today's card is inspired by four challenges and I'm so happy that I was able to make a card that fits all of them - it's a first for me. :)

Starting off with We Love Staming - Flowers, couldn't resist making another card for this challenge. :)  The colours from AAA Colourful just scream summer.  I stamped the images in black ink, then die-cut using the matching die to the set.  The matching stencil was used to add the colours from the challenge (see below).  And then, used a new-to-me background die (for both IDEAS and NBUS Challenges) to cut a pretty design to use as the "lattice" for my summer garden. :)

I had lots of fun making this card.  That's what this hobby is all about! :)

You're darned right that's what this craft is all about! What a gorgeous card, Loll! Your stenciling is so clever I would have thought your flowers were watercolored. Love the background and the sentiment strip that hints at a planter box. It's pure delight to see your colorful and pretty card today!

Gorgeous flowers Loll and I love your coverplate lattice die cut background and the added black sentiment strip looks great across the bottom of the card with a lovely contrasting white inked 'Hello'. x
