Flowers And Masculine




























Good morning, I hope you are all staying well and safe.   If you feel some crafting will help at the moment then hopefully these challenges can take your mind of things for a bit.
These are Mid Way challenges for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you haven't joined in yet these challenges could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Say It With Flowers'. To create this I chose this beautiful Inkylicious Poppy stamp, which I stamped onto this background I created using Distress oxides.  I coloured the poppies with Spectrum Noir markers, and a white gel pen, I added some words, all to do with nature to work with the Poppies.  There is a bit of sparkle done with glitter among the words and around the flower heads, but as usual isn't showing up on the picture.

We have sponsorship this Month from

And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Boys & Men'.  For my creation I used this Penny Black Union Jack Mini, coloured with Watercoloured pencils.  Using a stencil I created a background in monochrome colours and then added a sentiment.

Your SS creation is beautiful Tracy, mind you I am a tad biased with Poppies but really like the offset script down the leading edge. And you PB make is real fun.

Two gorgeous makes my lovely, I particularly love how you've gone monochrome for your PB background and it's thrown the mini completely off of the page - brilliant! xxxxx
