Different ways of using stamps

Hi Ladies. Although the improvement is very slight, I am happy to report that with a lot of rest I am slowly getting my strength back.


I made a card with alcohol inks on glossy card stock. Embossed the Collage Bird stamp from Hero Arts in gold and punched out eight squares that fit just inside the Simple Frame stamp. Punched out a butterfly with the left-overs (it is in the right hand corner, not very clear to see). The words are from the clear design 'Treasure the Moments'. I stamped and then cut out the words to go around the outside.
I am entering this in the 'Texture It' challenge on the Inspiration Journal here.


Here is a little display of the summer time in France from a vegetable garden, which my son brought home.


This is a beautiful Hibiscus plant that I was given. Nearly everyday I see a new flower open - it spreads so much sunshine!
