Build Me A Meadow

Hello Everyone
This post was drafted at the beginning of the year, always getting pushed back as I shared other posts with you.
The thistle wall hanging I recently shared with you was my team sample for the Crafty Individuals Challenge, Nature’s Beauty, but this seemed a good opportunity to share the card and share some Crafty Individuals links.
If you would like to enter the challenge then you can create any style of art:- altered, cards, tags, jewellery, etc, etc, but you must include at least one Crafty Individuals product.  Five winners will be selected with the prize of a Crafty Individuals stamp of their choice.  All other information can be viewed HERE.
This Crafty Individuals post sees me inking up one of their Linda Edward’s designed stamps, an elements set, CI-395
For this card I wanted a rustic feel to it yet also a pretty appearance at the same time. It is my favoured way of using floral stamps, where I can include natural elements yet still retain a pretty charm to them, anyway, that is always my hope, whether I achieve it is another matter completely!cardfourlynneThere is a lovely charm to the stamps in this set.
Although I have used each stamp as its own element they would work beautifully alongside another of her stamp designs stamp, CI-38518 february 341Each stamped onto one of my all time favourite stamping surfaces.18 february 342The same stamps used as on panel no. 1 except the composition of the stamps is showing them leaning towards the right.18 february 343A gathering of pretty pieces to finish the card.18 february 344
Thank You, as always for the trouble you take to stop by and visit my Blog.
Wishes
Lynne

    What a lovely triptych. I haven’t tried stamping over book pages yet so I’ll add it to my list of ‘must have a go’ items.

    Love the simplicity of these stamps Lynne and the beautiful way you’ve adorned them:) The lovely soft monochrome palette is wonderful. Many thanks for the heads up on the CI challenge although I think my card is a tad simple against the other entries! Congrats on your beautiful project for Stampers Sampler:)

    These are gorgeous as always. I like how you changed the composition of the stamps, good that you showed them that way as I was not aware they would do that. ~Happy Easter, ~Diane
