Beautiful Iris

 Morning and I have two DT posts today-the second one is for Stamping Sensations.

January - Gerrina Mood Board/AG

Welcome to our first challenge of 2024!

This year we are putting a slightly different spin on how some of the months challenges are presented. We will be having several themes in the form of mood boards to reflect the flowers and birthstones of months where DT's Birthdays fall and sharing a short bio about those DT's. On other months we will carry on with generic themes.

Gerrina's Birthday is in January and here is the mood board, you can take inspiration from any element or colour within it, or of course follow the AG option.
Great prizes from AALL&Create

 
 I used red and snowdrops from the mood board and the beautiful Iris stamp set and Shattering background stamp from AALL&Create coloured with promarkers.Number strip from inside a kitchen roll and I found a red ring can pull in my bits box.Beautiful watercolour Snowdrop p.paper from ScrapAndMe.

 

 Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!

That's so pretty with the pop of red on that background. I haven't used a ring can pull in ages, but it looks great with that flower!
