Summertime at We Love Stamping

It's reminder time at 

WE LOVE STAMPING 

There is still heaps of time to join in our Summertime theme, Anything Goes also welcome.

Now, for me, summertime means strawberries. I bought some plants earlier in the season that, sadly, did not do well. Jackson did manage to "borrow" a couple though!! Anyway, strawberries were very much in my mind when I made this...

I went a bit "shabby" and used  a Maja Designs paper pad, one of those that I bought to look at rather than use. For a change I inked with shabby shutters to compliment the leaves and roughed up the edges with my scissors. The stamp is, again, an old one that is from another Crafters companion set that I bought from shopping telly back in the day. I coloured him with pencils and resisted the temptation to use blending oil but was still happy with the result.

We are still baking here in the UK. Our fields are parched, we have more tomatoes than we know what to do with and the dogs are walked and the pony ridden before the local world is awake!!

I hope that you have a good weekend wherever you are. See you in a bit!!

AYLI Cute or Floral

 Hello peeps, I hope that you had a peaceful Easter and that the easter bunny left at least one egg!!

No eggs here but a bag of carrots for some cute bunnies. It's my inspiration for you to join in at As You Like It Challenge this time where the theme is CUTE or FLOWERS.

I think the image is LOTV. I found it in my "to be coloured" folder so can't be sure. I used pencils to colour this cute image and teamed it with some pretty spring colour papers layered with kraft. The little label is from a Daisy and Dandelion set (remember them!!) that was another long lost find. It says Lots of Love but, as usual, anything silver or gold doesn;t photograph well. 

Thank you for your continued support xx
