The Artistic Stamper - May Challenge - Garden Theme

You have probably guessed that the new theme for May is Garden and you can use just about any flowery or insect stamp, even use stamps of gnomes and birds too if you like!! The only rule is that you use stamping on your creation.

The paper I used for the card is by Liz King - Anemone- Olive by

EK Success LTD.

The "Thank You" stamp size D is an Anita Stamp by Sugarloaf, Inc.

My "Basket" Stamp size E is also by Anita from Sugarloaf.

The flowers are clear stamps by Rhonna Farrer and the leaves are from

Stampedous.

I used Inks were from the Memories Collection from Stamp

Craft.

I used Diamond Dust over the Flower layout and where I stamped

Thank You.

I enjoyed my first LO with at the Artistic Stamper.

You will find all kinds of things you will not find
at your normal scrapbook store.

I found this cool paper...yes I know you can find scrapbook paper anywhere. I just fell in love with it and had to have it.

I just love this large pink tag, and the colored scalloped papers.

There was a wall of collage pages....I chose these wonderful 4 pages.
