July is All About Citrus at Stampendous

Evening Everyone,
Here we are at the beginning of yet another weekend.
I've had my usual Friday afternoon Craft Room tidy up in preparation for plenty of playing over the weekend.
I even started a card for the Woodware challenge but it got too late to take pictures so I decided that I would leave finishing it off until tomorrow.

I actually made the card that I am sharing with you tonight as my DT post for the latest challenge at The Stampman, until I realised that I had used exactly the same stamp for the previous challenge.

Still all is not lost as I noticed that the Stampendous Challenge for July is All about Citrus.
I think that a nice orange card fits that bill don't you :O)

The main panel on the card uses the Stampendous Daisy Stem Trio, distress inks and some bleach. I also added some glitter glue to the flower centres.

The greeting is a sneak peek of another new Woodware stamp set that is due for release very soon.
I did add all of the tiny black dots to it, I'm not very good at doodling so this is as good as it gets for me.
The background papers are all from my stash, and the ribbon is from Woodware.
Hope you like it.
Hugs Kimx

Stampendous Challenge - Clean and Simple

Evening All
The challenge this month over at Stampendous is Clean and Simple. Now I find that quite hard so these cards are the nearest I could get. I hope you like them.

They both use a fairly old stamp, now available in cling called Peace Window. I have coloured the image with distress inks and then painted the dove with bleach.

I have layered the stamped image onto a piece of cuttlebugged blue card and some peel-off lines. The tiny leaves around the top edge of the card are from a Woodware set Flower Frames JRCL308. I also covered the dove in glossy accents.

The second card is made using the same stamp, but has a completely different look. Again I used distress inks and painted the dove with bleach.

I added a stitched border to the panel before mounting it over some background paper from my stash and a a piece of paper punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.

Of course I added a little bit of bling to this one.

Don't forget to check in at Crafty Cardmakers tomorrow for the latest challenge.

Love and hugs

Kimx
