Hi everyone,
I hope you have all had a great weekend and have lots of lovely things planned for this week.
I wanted to join in the We Love Stamping challenge this month. The theme is anything goes with the option to add stenciling.
I’ve been itching to use this stamp since I bought in December. So I thought I would have a play and make a card for the challenge. I’ve not made a card in ages and it was a bit hit and miss.
Credits for stamps used: Kokeshi Doll and Scrip – Paperartsy Jofy. Leaf Flourish – Elusive Images.
I used some different floral stencils on the background and then stamped and embossed the leaf flourishes and stamped the wording. I stamped the little Kokeshi Doll onto a separate card, coloured it with ink and attached it with foam tabs. I added some dots and splatters and then wished I hadn’t …but hey! Its for fun.
Well that’s all from me today. I’m off for a cuppa.
Take care,
Flo x

Your background is simply fabulous and I like your white dots and tiny splatters. I think they are a great finishing touch. Your Kokeshi doll looks fabulous, she brings serenity and clam to your creation. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at we love stamping and for using the stencilling option xx

Where is the hit and miss ?????? It’s brilliant I really love your doll she is resplendent amidst the fabulous background. What don’t you like about the splatters? I think its adds dimension and I just adore the colour of her kimono. You should make more cards most definitely.
Yours as always PF

No, I thought the pink dots which were supposed to pick up the flowers looked a bit wishy washy. It is a great stamp. I only send 4 cards a year!! LOL!
