Craft Barn Weekly Challenge


This week's challenge on the Craft Barn blog is stars or stripes. I've actually managed to incorporate both. I was playing with some Hero Arts cling stamps and trying out a technique called rock & roll (I think). You ink up the stamp with one colour and then rock the edges of the stamp in another darker colour. The colours are Impress lemon yellow and poppy red. I decided to use these flowers to make a small arrangement in a  vase which I cut from striped patterned paper. I liked the look of the flowers against kraft card and as white is very effective on kraft as well, I added some punched stars.
I will add a sentiment as the need arises.

  4. Oh wow, your flowers are stunning! Not heard of this technique, will have to see if I can "rock & roll"? Kraft card always looks so cool but with your white stripes (& stars), ace combo! Ty for your visit, really kind. C
