Polkadoodles Stamp away

Lou at Polkadoodles challenged the Dt

to create a project using the

Fairy Flutterfly stamps for everything.

Your challenge is to stamp away i.e.

use stamps to create everything for your card - no dp's!

I really enjoyed making the background paper for this card by

painting my stamps with H2o's and

then spritzing with water before printing

to give the soft dreamy effect.

My flowers, butterflies, Babsie and sentiment

are all Polkadoodles stamps.

So if you fancy the challenge pop over

to Polka Doodles and join us!
