June Challenge @ STAMPlorations

Good afternoon peeps.
Welcome to a post to announce the start of a new challenge over at STAMPlorations.
Her is my card for your inspiration.


This month we would like you to use the sketch or theme or both.

  

I wasn't intending to use the sketch but unintentionally I have, it is turned on its side, and what is a birthday if not a CELEBRATION!
I used the photo at The Card Concept for the colours, echoing the soft pink flowers in the cup with mine from Blooming Buds, and the soft blue and gold in the cup with the inked panel and gold strip and stamped sentiment. The layout is from Less is More, only later did I realise it echoes this month's sketch!
The blue panel was done by embossing with the ARTploration stencil Stained Glass then inking in Salty Ocean Di before removing it. The flowers were stamped in Memento London Fog, then masked to add further blooms to the posy, coloured with Copics and fussy cut before adding to the panel. Happy birthday is my favourite sentiment type from Banners and Balloons stamped in gold ink.

For all the usual Ts and Cs please check out the main STAMPlorations site where you will also see the rest of the DT's fab inspiration as well as this month's fantastic GDs, Jerrie and Pooja

I'd like to join in over at -
