Here's a bit of mid-month inspiration using Bizzy Bec's digital stamps. I have to admit I printed and coloured these peony flowers before I knew how I was goling to showcase them. Originally I thought a CAS with a white card but when I placed them on the cardstock it didn't do much for me.
Plan B - I searched my digital stamps folder on my computer because I knew I had stashes of peonies on it. Then it came to me - Audrey Hepburn. I had previously bought some papers and clipart of one of the best actresses of all time. This is what I came up with. Sorry on my second card I used the peony trio which Bec offered in a giveaway. However, the Peony single can be substituted for the trio. I used some stash paper for the first layer on the white cardstock on both cards. Then I used my digital paper and clipart, finishing the cards off with the peonies on foam tape..

As always this challenge is "Anything Goes. This month I am working with Daisy Trio and Daisy Single.
For this card I used Daisy Trio digital images in shades of light yellow and orange and placed them in the shape of the rectangle on the card base. The problem I then had was what colour should I colour the single daisy. I had thought of pink to change it up a bit.
I was hanging out some clothes this morning before I had coloured the daisy and all of a sudden a friend came to mind. Joy received her angel wings in 2019 and she loved the colour orange, so my single daisy has to be that colour. I fussy cut the daisies out and used foam tape to adhere to the white card base and foam tape again to mount the single daisy.

This month I am showcasing the beautiful digital stamp from Morgan's ArtWorld called "Rose Candle Greyscale". I have also used "Old Roses Frame".
The optional theme for May's Blog Challenge is "For the Girlz". For my inspiration I have used "Hot Chocolate".
I wanted to create a rounded curved pop with the image on the card, but not sure exactly how it is done.
My colouring is with mixed coloured pencils.

It has been a while since I have coloured with Copics, so I thought I would get back into it. Hope you are enjoying the new digital stamps from Bizzy Becs and hope to see some in the Blog Challenge.
Sorry I am a bit late with my Bizzy Becs Blog Challenge post. Sometimes family problems can get in the way of blogging. I had the card made, but it is impossible trying to blog with your mobile phone, unless someone can give me some hints. For me I managed it once and tried to replicate what I did that time, but wasn't successful - very frustrating. Thank you to Karen for putting my card on the Bizzy Becs Blog post.
