At the Pool

 Love the fun young look of the Ellen Hutson Everything''s Beachy stamp set. Paired with my new Altenew Rows of Squared embossing folder ... as tiles around the pool.

I used a Pebble Stencil for the water ripples by moving it around and re-inking. I'm waiting to get my MFT pool stencil.

Dainty Bouquet

 I "ummed and aahed" about getting this stamp, but it kept coming up so eventually I caved!

It is just so elegant and dainty ... and looks lovely in tones of the one colour. The message is from Penny Black, Carefree Wishes.

A close-up to see the embossing by a die cut.

Cute Critter Wishes

 One of my favourite little critters ...

This was my first attempt ... can you spot the error?

Easier to see on the close-up! I didn't mask the flowers when I was doing the distressing around the circle!

Which colour sky do you prefer?
