Elegant Stems Notecards

I was one of the lucky winners of the Allsorts 16th birthday challenge, and received this lovely set of floral stamps by AALL & Create called 'Elegant Stems' as part of my prize. I decided to use the main flower stamps in the set to make a little set of notecards. I stamped them all on to watercolour paper, then coloured them using watercoour paints. I distressed the edges a little then added the watercoloured panels to some kraft card blanks.

Here they all are together:

Game Changer

Today's card features a stamp I won as part of a prize from the Allsorts Challenge 15th birthday...it's called 'Game Changer' by AALL & Create. I stamped the images on to watercolour paper, adding a sentiment using a stamp from the 'What This!' set by Anita Jeram for the Colorado Craft Company to the screen, then coloured the images using watercolour pencils. I used papers from a Christmas pad from Poundland called 'Let it Snow' for the background...distressing the edges a little, and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
