August challenge - Summer Flowers

Welcome to our July challenge here at Penny Black and More.

When I came up with this theme thoughts were of warm summer days and the heady scent of flowers in the air, the reality here in the UK has been somewhat different as we have seem more that our fair share of rain with cool and cloudy days. So this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the essence of summer through our artwork with.....................

********Summer Flowers********   

Usual rules apply, you can enter up to three times, combine with other challenges, use any make of stamp......but can I please remind you.......

We are a stamping challenge so must see hand stamping as the focal element of your artwork, it can be a stamped image/s, large sentiment or quote.........the one exception are Penny Black Stickeroos. But no digi images and entries using them WILL NOT be eligible for prizes or GDT spots. It so upsets us to see names come out in the draw who are not eligible for a prize because they have not read the rules. 

As always we have some super prizes to be won thanks to our lovely sponsors to whom we are always most appreciative.......................

Penny Black invite you to explore their creative world and see for yourself why their rubber stamps, stickers, beautiful papers for scrapbooking, cardmaking and stamp crafting are everyone’s favourites.
