Addicted to Stamps & More - Theme Challenge

I hope everyone have had a super Christmas, that Santa was kind to you and maybe you have some new crafty bits your longing to play with. We at Addicted to Stamps and More have had a super break, I wish all my visitors a very happy New year. It is now time to get back to crafting and challenging, thank goodness, for I do enjoy these challenges and to visit your blogs, glad to get back to normal. 
We are starting 2013 with our Theme Challenge, amazing how quickly time goes this is # 5 - Nature, such a broad subject, we are bound to get a wide variety of entries. We are thrilled that we are being sponsored by

My card is my version of a beautiful card which was featured in a recent Craft Stamper magazine. I coloured the main white card and randomly stamped the swirls . Distressed further a piece of corrugated card. coloured white card with TH Distress inks Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey, distressed the edges. Stamped bees from a Sheena Douglass stamp set, a background stamp with small swirls, the main 
image of the plant is from Indigo Blu stamps. Tied with a piece of twine and a button. 
Some of the design team have used Bugaboo Digi Stamps, others have used a varied collection of sources.
Have fun, I look forward once again to paying you a visit over the next week.

  1. Hi Caz. Fabulous collage stamping! Love the colors of your sponging. And love the distressed look and feel of the card with all the ripped edges and corrugated backdrop. The twine adds to the overall organic feel of your card. Loll xx
