It's time for a new challenge already at
Allsorts and Liz is
hosting this week with her
optional theme of
Embossing Folders.
Hope you'll join us for your chance to win. We have prizes from

Craft Stash so don't miss
your chance!! As mentioned it's an optional theme so all of your new creations
are welcome.
I used the Penny Black stamp
Dancing Daisies although they look like
Black Eyed Susans to me and therefore I tried to ink up the stamp in the
colors of those flowers. It's an older stamp so I don't have a link but Penny
Black does have many other beautiful
floral cling stamps. The stamping
platform always comes in handy when using these brushstroke stamps as I get to
add layers of colors. Maybe I added a bit too much Rusty Hinge here but my
distress markers are barely working anymore so I had to use a full sized ink
pad instead. I thought about investing in a full set of
mini distress ink pads now that
the markers are no longer available and those would be easier to control than
a full size ink pad.

Sentiment is from the Penny Black set
Blooming Sentiments. I layered the
image/sentiment panel onto some mustard colored cardstock (a retired Stampin
Up color) and added green jute twine by May Arts. I've had this argyle style
embossing folder for a long time probably from Cuttlebug. I'm not too creative
with my embossing folders so I simply used the folder with white card stock
and layered the image panel onto it for a CAS style card.

I'd like to share my card with these challenges:
I've often thought the same about the name of this PB Ellie, would even get away with it as Sunflowers. But it's a beautiful stamp and your card so sunny and welcoming, many thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping July challenges.
