Our May challenge is now up and running over at Stamping Sensations and it's all about
********Close to Nature********
So many options here, flowers, trees, wild animals and insects, in fact anything associated with the wonders of Nature and the great outdoors which surround us every day.
We are sponsored by

We are thrilled to introduce a new sponsor this month Chocolate Baroque, their wonderful rage of stamps really compliment this months theme so do pop over to their web site and take a look and also watch out for them on Hochanda TV.
Just remember STAMPING must be them main feature of your project!!
For my project I went made an eclipse card using the lovely stamps from Donna Ratcliff. I made the background using spectrum noir watercolours and sparkle pens.
The stamps sets are called Magic Garden, Toadstool Home and Fairy Door.
I cut the wording using my Stampin' Up Letter framelits and cut them about 5 times more in black to add lots of layers behind the letters. This is an 8 x 8'' card.
I look forward to seeing all your CLOSE TO NATURE projects this month.
I would like to enter this into

So stamp, stamp, stamp!!
I'd love you to check out my other blog
where I have lots of Youtube tutorials and card ideas.
