PRIZE $10 gift certificate
I have used a stamp from the Beccy’s Place Waratah set, being an Aussie
I love to find Australian stamps and images. The Waratah is the floral emblem
of NSW, the state that I live in, according to local Aboriginals the Waratah was
a flower seen from afar, which the warriors of the tribe used to remove from
the plant and soak the flower head in water and drink the resulting sweet drink for
an energy boost. We have them growing in both the front and back garden. I am
also sharing two pictures from our garden, the first one has begun opening and the second is still closed up.
I coloured the image using Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils, die cut
with an MFT stitched oval die teamed with some papers from the Kaisercraft
paper pad called Open Road which features Australian flora, fauna and iconic
images of our country. I have used the coloured border (which looks like bark
of a gum tree) from the spine to stamp my sentiment onto to make a card for my
Mum for Mother’s Day.
This challenge is open until March 26th, you can add your project by using the Linky tool over at Crafting by Designs. Please be sure to link your project back to us.

White 12.4x17.5cm card blank
Faber-Castell and Derwent coloured pencils
Gold embossing powder
Clear embossing ink

Beautiful design just love this pretty card Sorry I've not been around your blog but had lots of hospital stuff with my husband since Christmas Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave I really appreciate your kindness Love and hugs Carole x
I love what you did with this flower stamp! It’s beatiful! And thank you for giving a few details about it— I had never seen it before (I live in the United States), and always like to learn about new flora. How lucky you are to have Waratah growing in your backyard!
What a beautiful flower that is. Your stamp is perfect showing the flower bud before it opens. How fun to find a stamp that mimics the flower.
Love this card Megan, fabulous background and a really super image.

Your waratah card is beautiful! I love the background paper you have used, looks like Eucalyptus leaves.
Thank-you for joining us at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge.
Gorgeous indeed.
Lovely creation Megan and I’m totally impressed at your two Waratahs, I’m ashamed to say my garden has none. I’ve had bad record with banksia and think they’re from the banksia family.

Love the beautifully coloured Waratah, Megan, the background of the gum leaves are perfect. Thanks for joining in on the Anything goes Challenge at the Happy Craft Challenge Community .
Beautiful card Megan, the flower is gorgeous and is perfect with the background paper xx
Hello, Megan! Your card is so pretty! I have not seen one of these beautiful flowers before - it's really gorgeous! Your garden must look amazing! Thanks for sharing your photos!
Wow! Your waratah flower is beautiful Megan, you're lucky to have them blooming in your garden.
Your Aussie themed card is wonderful, I particularly like the background paper, what a great stack that must be. I'll have to see if I can find some at my local Kaiser store. I like how you've used the little strip as the sentiment, I often keep that piece too. Lovely!
Cheers,
Beccy
A delightful card.
