Bluebells!

A quick reminder of our May challenge at Stamping Sensations, where our theme is "Say It With Flowers". Full details of the challenge, sponsors and prizes are on the challenge blog. The challenge is open until the 3rd of June, so there is still plenty of time to enter!

My first sample for the challenge (see my previous post) used a beautiful digital image by our lovely DT member Dora, who is one of our sponsors, and for the one shown here I have gone for the lovely bluebells from the "Spring Foliage" set by Chocolate Baroque, our second sponsor for May.


The background is watercoloured and stamped with another stamp from the Spring Foliage set. The butterfly, bee and sentiment are magazine freebies. I coloured the image with Zig Clean Colour pens and die cut it with a die from The Works..


The bluebells around here have been glorious! Another good year for them, I think. We are lucky enough to have some in our garden.

The bees like them too.

Today was the first really dull and damp day we have had in several weeks, but a gorgeous male yellowhammer dropped into the garden to brighten things up.


We have several visiting regularly, and it is a joy to watch them, along with all the other beautiful birds, butterflies and bugs we get here. Even this monster beetle, which scuttled right by my foot in the bathroom yesterday!

    Such a beautiful bluebell card Lynne. We have had bluebells out here in the hedgerows recently. but not managed to catch any of the woodlands with them this year. I love the photos except maybe the beetle, thats quite a size.

    Beautiful CB Bluebells Lynne, we used to have them along the edge of one of our ditches but sadly they seems to have died out.

    What beautiful bluebells Lynne - love your card, that background is exquisite! I will admire bluebells from afar, in some one else's garden, but personally don't like bluebells all that much, as they will take over a garden here given half a chance, and are hard to get rid of.
    We have had a very long, warm and dry Autumn, and I still have sparrows, wax-eyes and starlings in the backyard, and there are Tuis (a native bird) in the neighbourhood - they come into town for the winter.
    Stay safe
    Blessings
