Simply Lovely...

 Hello Creative friends 

It's been a while since I've treated myself to newly released stamps 
when I saw the Paperartsy sets from Alison Bomber I couldn't resist. 

Just look at this delightful rose, stamped and fussy cut.. 
The roses are really in full bloom this Summertime.


On an Aall & Create die cut tag filled with offcuts, torn 
papers and washi there's paste pushed through a TH flourish 
stencil brayered with vanilla paint and random text stamped 
around that texture. Edged with gold I find it's a go to 
colour combo of mine, a vintage favourite that loves 
a tickle of pastel blue or pink.. 🫠


Stay safe and take care especially if your dealing with 
yet again another heatwave like myself here in the UK..

 Happy crafting 
Hugs Tracey xx

A Wonderful and creative tag, love the rose and the gold touches. Yep! We are in the heatwave here in Wales too, 31C today, not as bad as the South East, but still HOT! x

No heat wave here. The weather person keeps threatening it butttttt. I do love the piece of art you have created. So much depth and texture that allows the golden rose to pop. Your talent always bring on spectacular art.

So pleased you found a bit of crafty time Tracey as this is a real beauty. Your right about the Roses, they are thriving in this dry weather (whilst we all wilt!).

Fabulous textured tag, love the beautiful rose, beautifully coloured and great fussy cutting! Love the grungy effect die-cut frame too. The heat this year is definitely too much, thankfully cooler and cloudier today-long may it last lol. Well Son is still in hospital with not much improvement sadly.

A gorgeous rose to take pride of place on your fabulous textured tag. Yellow roses are my favourite, and yes the roses have been fantastic this year.
Thank you for joining in at We Love Stamping.

This is absolutely beautiful and can totally see why you wanted to purchase this new set! We're currently dealing with the yearly Japanese Beetle invasion over here in Illinois and unfortunately they love my roses and do a lot of damage to them.. It's so sad!
Thanks so much for sharing at Allsorts challenge!

Wow! So much texture and loveliness going on in this pretty tag. The rose is a lovely focal point on your mixed media background.

Not surprised you succumbed to an Alison Bomber stamp set - I couldn’t resist the coneflower set recently!!! X

This is gorgeous and I can see why you had to have that stamp. The soft background with a pretty lacey feel to it. . Thanks so much for sharing with us at We Love Stamping, Tag-Along (and ATC's) and Allsorts challenges.
