Ok, so some of my email subscribers may have already seen this blog post as it went live on Saturday morning as part of the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Blog Hop, however at the time of it going live I was sat in the middle of a field camping with my family and wasn’t able to deal with an issue. So, instead I thought I would post it this evening. If you would like to see what the other ladies made with this fab sketch you can hop from Anna’s blog HERE!
This months sketch is brought to us by the fabulous Keren Howell from Tuppence Coloured. I cannot wait to get home and see what the girls have done with it!
I’ve been using the Love and Affection stamp set and the Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper a lot this month as it has featured as my Stamp of the Month. I’m still loving the colour combination in the papers and the gorgeous flowers in the stamp set.
Anyone has visits my blog on a regular basis knows that I’m a bit of a watercolour addict (although I haven’t done any of a little bit, too distracted by shiny new stamps!) and so they won’t be too shocked to find that I have watercolored the flowers and leaves on this card
The Designer Series Paper features flowers in Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight, so I have mirrored that on my piece, and added some leaves in Cucumber Crush. The Designer Series Paper also features some gorgeous copper accents, which I have also picked out on my card with some loops of the stunning new copper metallic thread and some copper heat embossing.
The sentiment, as it goes, isn’t from the Love and Affection stamp set, but is from Endless Birthday Wishes – I am a sucker for a pretty font, and I love the combination of these two, the cute little happy, and the swirly birthday. So pretty.

These cards all used the same Masking technique that I discussed last week in the Pinkies Blog Hop. The frog is stamped in Archival Basic Black ink onto Thick Whisper White, and once the ink was dry I covered in Fine-Tip glue. I really love this type of masking, although it takes a little while as the glue has to be completely dry before adding any ink. The tags are sponged in Sweet Sugarplum and either Emerald Envy or Dapper Denim depending on the card base colour.
The sentiment is taken from Love and Affection, another new stamp set coming tomorrow!!! Yay!
This card also features another new stamp set; Love and Affection. I love this stamp set so much that I am making it my Stamp of the Month in June! My Stamp of the Month Club is a totally new adventure for me, and I hope for you to. Each month I will be sharing my Stamp of the Month, and then also releasing the Stamp of the Month Club Online Class! Check back on Thursday to find out more and to sign up to class!
