It's been a good week with lots of outdoor activities. No matter how old my boys get we still enjoy going to feed the ducks and swans. We are lucky to have a nature reserve walking distance from us so visit it often. I still remember taking the boys in their buggies!!!
Joanne from the Daring Cardmakers has found out that it’s the birthday of author Alexandre Dumas today - The Three Musketeers is probably his most famous work so she'd like to see three of anything on your cards this week.
I recently bought a preloved stamp set and as it had 3 flowers in the vase it was ideal for the challenge! I smooshed my background with oxide inks and I loved the more muted shades that I got on my second sheet of card. I usually do a couple to mop up the inks as I hate wasting it.
The flowers and vase were paper pieced and I used paint with my stencil that I dabbed to give more texture. I love the 'Take time to do enjoy the little things' sentiment which I heat embossed to finish. I kept this really simple as I felt it didn't need anything more and I wanted the flowers to be my focal point.
You can see lots more inspiration from the DT HERE and I do hope you'll join in!
See you again tomorrow!

Very pretty card and gorgeous colours. I too have been outdoors a lot so hence not a lot of crafting, it's good for the mind and energy levels. Have a great weekend. ♥
