Flower Challenge at STAMPlorations!

Hi friends! 
The May Challenge at STAMPlorations is "Stamps and Flowers". Those of you who visit my blog often know this was an easy peasy for me: I LOVE flower stamps! I decided to make something new and remembered a dress template I've got for free with a crafting magazine -there's many templates available for free online too. It was very fun to stamp "the fabrics" and embellish the dress with some ribbons and a flower. The STAMPlorations design team has made stunning samples for your inspiration so do check them out. We also have a talented guest designer Sue joining us this month. Welcome to STAMPlorations, Sue! :) 

The stamps I used in my project are VIGNETTE: Chevron and Arrows, VIGNETTE: Eclectic Florals, and SUBWAY ART BUILDERS: Dare. The Dare set (along with 4 other new sets) is released in May and we are actually celebrating the release with a small blog hop next week -follow STAMPlorations Blog so you won't miss it!  

As every month, there are 3 challenges at STAMPlorations in May. If you play along in all three you won't only have a chance for the prizes in every challenge but a chance to win the monthly prize pack too... In May it looks right this:

Great prize, right? For all the details, visit STAMPlorations. I hope to see you playing along in our challenge. Happy crafting!

  15. Oh, how creative you are with this dress that, if it were 'real' could certainly come to live in my wardrobe! Chevrons, flowers and polka-dots - fashion statement, indeed! Pretty, spring-y, lovely...
