Sketch challenge time! Spring is coming....

Hi all

It's time to bring you my offering for this week's challenge again!

Challenge #111 Sketch challenge

It's really simple but it scared me a bit, I'm not too proud to admit that despite my approx 15 years of paper crafting experience! It's not that it's technically difficult, just out of my comfort zone.

This is my interpretation, made from a 5x5" card base.

I've added some elements but it's a great sketch if you're just starting out and have a limited amount of crafting stash.

I was very happy to take delivery of  the new Flower Shop Bundle and couldn't wait to play!

It's so lovely and cheery, I'm sure I'll find a lot of use for it. Versatility is always key when I buy a stamp set.

This is a quick project I made with it:

Stampin' Up! supplies used

Flower Shop stamp set

Sweet Essentials Stamp Set (There is 25% off this set until 31st July)

Pansy Punch

Large Oval Punch

Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Midnight Muse & Summer Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad 

Gumball Green, Whisper White & Sahara Sand A4 Cardstock

Stamping Sponges

One thing I would like to make you aware of is that the stamp must be lined up correctly to work with the pansy punch. This is hard to explain but hopefully you'll find this video here as easy to follow as I did!
