Although this is meant to be a punch challenge with this card you can see how well punches can compliment your stamped designs.
I have used; two daisies, Flower pot, Leaf, butterfly and mini heart.
I love the butterfly punch as it embosses as well as punching out. From the waste you can collect lovely tiny little hearts which I have used around the daisies.
This the stamp I have used:
FRS106 Mushroom House

I thought that with Easter coming up I would link the two together. It is probably more common to think of spring colours as being soft and muted but I tend to think of bright yellows for the daffodils and reds for the tulips! Of course there is also the beautiful blue skies that are so welcomed after the grey of winter.
For the stamping I have used a really great set:
FRCL147 Eggy Fun
There is a rather large outline of an egg and two borders in the set which I have used for the basket
The basket was stamped on brown card and the shading was achieved using a VersaMark Pen. I used a white Sakura pen fof the highlights.
There are lots of little element stamps in the set and I have used some of them to decorate my eggs.
It's a versatile stamp set and there is an element of fun as you can stamp a large egg shaped rabbit!

This week's challenge was very challenging!!!
I'm using the file folders that come in a pack. Each sheet has different size folders on it, die cut ready to go. They are white so my first task was to sponge them with yellow ink to remove the starkness. I then used elements from this set:
FRCL020 Background Textures
to stamp blocks of colour across the folders. For this I used the 'ColorBox Queues '
I have used 6 files in total. I had plans to stick them together a certain way so the all matched at the edges but when I started stamping the enjoyment took over and the plan disappeared!! [lol]
For the flowers I have used this set:
FRCL134 Flowers and Stems
I stamped using the fading out technique so some of the flowers/textures have been stamped without re-inking. This gives more depth to the stamping.
Finally I have used this set to add greetings at random on some of the pages.
FRCL129 Garden Greetings
which is very appropriate given the flower theme.
To finish off I have punched some butterflies, using my favourite Woodware punch, and sponged them before gluing them into place. I decorated the butterflies with 3mm pearls.
Not forgetting some ribbon for good measure.
This type of project can go on for ever... and you could add charms, tags etc..
