The challenge from Sir Stampalot this month is to use punches on your work. I started off being very brave and using one of my Graphicus Guild papers for the background - well it is for my daughter so I was feeling quite generous. The image is Penny Black - coloured with Promarkers and edged with Distress ink. I've mounted it onto some mirri card which I had coloured with alcohol inks. I punched the garden trellis twice onto pearl paper and slightly off set it to make it less open. The white border at the bottom is part of a parcel of goodies sent to me by my friend Martha (USA). The flowers were punched from some quite old Papermania papers which had been sprayed with Cosmic Shimmer spray. After I'd stuck them all on they still didn't look very inspriring so I rubbed some stickles over them a bit. I cut a corner piece from the garden trellis stamp in white and overlayed it with another, cut from the same coloured mirri card. I also punched the leaves/stems from the same piece.
There's a fab prize this month from Sir Stampalot again this month so why not give it a go.Thanks very much for visiting.

I haven't visited your blog for a while, in fact I haven't visited any blogs lately (a few problems at home but nothing major), but hopefully things will get back to normal and I will be stalking all my favourite blogs again lol.
