Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 The theme for this week's Sweet Stampin' challenge is a photo inspiration ...

And here is my take on the photo ...
I stamped this gorgeous SU flower twice in blue, green and coral, and then cut out the elements and layered them up.  I cut out the centre of a doilly and pleated it to create the lacey bouquet and added the layered flower to the centre.  The  swirl pattern is created using coral ink and a SU wheel, and I added a matching green ribbon.  All very simple!

We are sponsored by our lovely teamy Fi, this week and she has 2 Sugar Nellie stamps up for grabs.

Challenges:
2 Sisters - ribbon
Allsorts - anything but square
CES - Entertain Us inspired by a song/film ... Radiohead Lotus flower
