Polgons and Roses

 Hi and my second late card post is for the Polygons (yes I had to google it lol)challenge at Dragonfly Dreams, chosen by Alyson. I collapsed at the beginning of the month due to not sleeping, hardly eating and low blood pressure resulting in complete bed rest and plenty of fluids

So please bear with me while I catch up with commenting

  My card was made using inspiration from Alyson, using papers from Crafters Companion and a Tonic die-cut sentiment. 



Please note if any challenges have digis for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Summer Flowers

 I am back to post two DT cards which are late. I collapsed at the beginning of the month due to not sleeping, hardly eating and low blood pressure resulting in complete bed rest and plenty of fluids.

The first card is for the Summer Flowers/ATG challenge at Stamping Sensations with two prizes from AALL&Create.

I used Iris stamp set from AALL&Create and paper pieced the flower, I smooshed the background with Distress Oxides, and drew round a circle die with a fine liner pen.
