**I’ve been blogging every day so far this week, if you’re likely to have missed anything I hope you’ll take the time to scroll down my front page **
Apart from Painted Flowers which are a fav of mine, one more Altenew stamp set was emerging as your favourite, as I noticed in the blog hop comments - Magnolias For Her. So I decided to give them another go tonight, but this time the traditional way for this type of stamp - coloured in.
I was chuckling with hubby when I showed him the coloured blooms, saying: this is what happens when I settle on an idea of delicate, cream petals with a hint of blush. LOL, I reckon I don’t do subtle very well 😉
The Copics I used: E81, Y23, RV32/34/29, BV11
