 Morning and I have two more DT posts today-the first one is for the Garden Delights challenge at Stamping Sensations.We have a prize of a £25 vocher from Stamp Addicts.Hope you will also check out our GD Helen.

I used a stamp set from Stamping Art I bought off a FB decluttering page,this is a pretty large stamp 5and a half inches x 4and a half inches with four more stamps in the set too.I used my favourite border stamp from Crafters Companion-had it years,and coloured the image with Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent watercolours-Decadent&Precious Metal set,the b.paper is from The Works.

I wondered what the stamp was Carol, it's a real beauty and you've brought all the elements to life with the colours used. Whatever works for you, be it port of gin!

So beautiful and dragonfly is amazing - I'd be delighted to see him in my garden, used to get loads of dragonflies from the huge pond across the road but sadly haven't seen any this year, maybe it's the weird weather we've had?
Thank you for joining in at Crafty Calendar, lovely to have you join us this challenge.
