Scrummy Stash

I went shopping to Lyndhurst yesterday to pay a visit to the nearest independent craft shop and bought loads of scrummy new stash to play with. The large set of stamps are by TPC studio and are travel theme and are destined for a good friends birthday treat along with a set of the absolutely gorgeous paper pads by websters pages and a set of the wooden embellies.  I am sure I will be borrowing them soon enough :)  The cute little bird stamp was a last minute purchase whilst I was standing at the till waiting to pay and I definately needed the Rusty Hinge Distress Ink as I don't have that one ~  oops!!

I had to make a last minute card to send to family in Australia. It was a case of Whoops! is it really that soon? Better get my skates on and get it in the post. Since it is winter "over there" I decided a splash of summer was in order and found this little papermania sunflower stamp languishing in the back of cupboard ~ unloved and unused. aaah!

I stamped in archival brown ink and used promarkers to colour. Then decoupaged and added some gold bedazzles in the centre of the flower



I went for a simple clean look coz I think the sunflower says it all.
