Hi everyone, during the week I managed to bag three new to me AALL & Create stamp sets and a stencil in a flash sale at Create & Craft, and they were delivered a couple of days ago so I just had to have a play. It was a bit naughty of me really to buy them as I haven’t yet played with all the stamps I bought from Tracy Evans’ April release .. but hey I do love a sale that enables me to build up my stock more than I could usually manage - who doesn’t??
I created a background by brayering two colours of Distress Oxide inks, then stamped my focal flower and coloured it with Distress watercolor pencils. I did a bit of background stamping with another A&C stamp, plus some stamps from an unbranded grungy background set I recently bought from Amazon. I stamped the ticket portion of the main stamp onto a separate piece of brayered card, edged with black and attached on top of the original image, then stamped a couple of sentiments (including one from my other newly delivered stamp set 😍), edged the card with pink DOX, spattered with white Posca pen and matted onto black linen card stock and my card blank.
Stamps: AALL & Create #753 Delight In Flora, #906 Art Notes, #831 Sent With Love; unbranded grungy background stamps (Amazon);
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Fossilized Amber); Distress Watercolor Pencils sets 1 and 2 (Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint); Versafine Clair (Nocturne); Posca pen (white).
Challenges I would like to enter:

Hugs,

There is always something necessary in craft... isn't it? :D
Your grunge card looks so pretty in pink, green and warm yellow, it's a palette that I always love. Beautiful stamp and background!
Thanks so much for joining us at We Love Stamping!
Beautiful, Pauline! I love this style of card and your colors are so fresh and light. Thank you for joining the celebration challenge at Allsorts.
Fabulous card! I love the graphic, grungy brayered and stamped background you created with all of the different stamps. Great texture and the purple flowers make the perfect pop of color to the black and white design. Thanks for sharing at the Double D Flower Challenge.
Love it Pauline, such a beautiful background you created for the pretty flower and beautiful colors too! I always feel guilty buying new stamp supplies, still have several unused Lavinia, Colorado Craft and even Penny Black stamps. Sometimes sales are so hard to resist!!
So great to see you joining us at Allsorts challenge! Thank you for joining us and helping us celebrate our birthday, lucky you can enter for the prizes!! Good luck!!
Absolutely beautiful Pauline and with the cards you make, you deserve to have more stamps. I love how you have used the stamps, so clever and love the colour mix also.
