flowers of all sorts

This warm weather is....

dare I say this out loud?
Just a wee bit too warm for me!
Daily swims for Poppy down the river
with cooling swims are a must!


It's also a bit too hot in the spare room to craft.
Despite a fan going......

I managed this with some new stamps.
I also have been making use of my new
Martha Stewart doily punch.
But I am really disappointed in
how I have done the four corners.
Any tips?
I stamped onto patterned papers,
& layered them up on black card.
A wee flower button finished it off.

the inside is from a new set of stamps too.
I really like this sentiment.

I am loving my flower bloom brooches just now.
I have resisted using this beautiful piece
of ribbon for so long....sad I know.
But I love the colours, so decided to wear it.

It's not a great picture...there are narrow
strands of green behind it for leaves.
And two buttons for the centre.

Lastly....this flower never fails to amaze me.
It is a much more beautiful
deep purple than it looks here.
And the flowers are each the size of a side plate.

Hope you are all well.
much love Teen xx
