Beccy's Place July Blog Challenge

This month's challenge has an optional twist - animals. I did check with Google and birds are classed as animals, so I chose to work with Beccy's beautiful superb wrens. They are coloured with pencils.

I have used the Superb Wren digital stamps along with the free gum blossoms which I coloured and the background is Flannel flowers (coloured version). Flannel flowers are one of my most favourite native flowers, but alas I have not been that successful with them myself. I had one that did last a couple of seasons and then just went and died on me. Unfortunately I only had it in a pot and it didn't leave me any babies to carry out the beautiful display.

SheepSki Designs Blog Challenge July 2023

Our optional twist this month is "Celebrations". I was keen to use SheepSki Designs' "Buttercup Cottage" a new image from Andrea.

I wanted to make a gnome scene with this cottage and used "Giant Daisies".

You may also find another of Andrea's images hiding somewhere. It is part of an older image.

I have added grass diecuts and signpost and a few chipboard embellies to complete the scene and voila, we have a welcome to our neighbourhood card for a new neighbour.

As a follower of my blog, you are eligible to use this discount at SheepSki Designs Etsy shop SKIANDREA10

I hope you will join in our July Blog Challenge. We also run a Facebook challenge too, so join here if you aren't a member of the group yet.

See you in the Blog challenge and good luck with your entry.
