Here's our sketch for you this week from Hand Stamped Sentiments. I turned mine onto its side elevation to give me more room for the larger circle I wanted to use. I've just got the new stamp set from Tracy Evans called Friendship Florals with lots of lovely large image stamps and great words too. I love her stamps which allow me to make these collage style stamps - I love the collage look on stamps or art journals and these stamps make it so easy.
Here I've used the sunflower stamp and added it to a stitched circle frame. It has been coloured in with Derwent Metallic Watersoluble pencils which gives it quite a vibrant look, sadly missing in the photo.
The smaller circles are some more of the stamps from the set and the sentiment is from two of the word stamps. I coloured all the circles with a light coating of Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and used the same ink for the background and went over it with a stencil using Distress Ink in Faded Jeans.
I added a touch of Tracey Evans Birdsong Washi Tape to the top and bottom of the card. I edged the circles with a Stabilo all pencil in black to add a touch of shading. There is also some Spectrum Noir sparkle on parts of the card.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:

What a delightful card Fiona and love what you have done with Tracy's new stamps. I was sent these to create some samples but health issues got the better of of me and they remain un-inked. Hoping to put that right this week.
