Welcome everyone to our May Challenge.
Our theme this month is "Flower Power", chosen by the lovely Monika
Hello everybody, it's Monika
the hostess of the May challenge
It's said: "April showers bring May flowers."
So it's time for the flowers and for the floral creations.
You might know that I like to make home decorations. For our May challenge I've created two flower wreaths - a pink and a blue one - with felt flowers. I wanted to show you how easy to make home decorations with Sizzix dies and not just with Bigz dies but with Thinlits dies too. For more details, please click on my blog.
For the Flower Power project I made a wall hanging, combining the rust of last month with the flowers of this month to create a bird cage. It been ages since I last did any die cutting and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed sending a piece of card though my machine only to see it turn into leaves or flowers at the other end! There's a close up photo and a description of how I made this on my blog. Gabrielle x
I've been playing with the Tim Holtz Floral stencil and I've created two sets of panels for when the new Eileen Hull journal comes into stock (hopefully very soon). The panel on the left was made using distress oxides and the stencil as a stencil and using the ink left on it, spritzed with water as a monoprint. The second panel on the right was created using the monoprint technique only. I won't leave you hanging, so for more details pop over to Bumblebees and Butterflies and you'll find out when I can show you the finished journal.
Happy May day, wow the year is racing by but May is one of my favourite months of the year. I was delighted when our lovely Monika chose "Flower Power" as our theme this month. May really is the month of flowers and I chose to make 2 floral tags. I am sharing the first one today made with regular Distress Inks.
If you would like to see how I made my flower power tag do pop over to my blog here where a very fragrant warm welcome awaits you. I will be back to share my Distress Oxide version of this later in the month. Enjoy the bank holiday and I really hope that you get some time to get inky.
Bye for now,
Hi everyone,

You just gotta love flowers! So many shapes and colours - they really are the most amazing things! I used some wonderful stamps from Kay Carley to make my card for today. You can find out more details on my blog here.
Hope you can join us!

What a great challenge, perfect for Summer which I hope starts now! I have a few family birthdays coming up, so with this in mind I've chosen my happy colours of PaperArtsy paint, along with their stencils and stamps. There are more details over at Sue The Iron. Have a lovely day x
