A new challenge starts the 1st of the month and will be open until the 25th of that month! The winner and honorable mentions will be posted with the new challenge on the 1st,

And of course a challenge wouldn't be complete with out a prize. Alison from The Alley Way Stamps is sponsoring our 1st challenge with the awesome Calypso stamp set.

For my i was inspired by the colors and the flower pattern. I placed a stencil over some white card stock and with an ink applicator added some distress inks that matched the photo. I started with the yellow in the middle and then worked my way out to an aqua and then blue.

Next i stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Sending and Wishing stamp set in black ink. I trimmed the panel down a little, then matted it on some gray glitter card stock. Last i added it to a black card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you will play along with us on this new adventure, i look forward to see your creations!!
