Addicted to Stamps Challenge # 150

I can't believe how quickly these weeks are passing me by. Will have to start thinking about Christmas soon....eeekkk!! Its Wednesday so its time for another challenge at Addicted to Stamps.  We have a photo to inspire you this week:

Isn't all that green just dreamy?? So many elements in this photo to inspire you, can't wait to see what you come up with!

The sponsor for this challenge is Sweet Pea Stamps. They are giving a prize of 4 digi images to the winner of this challenge. How wonderful is that!

I just couldn't take my eyes off the green in this photo and immediately thought about water colouring. I also wanted to put in some flowers (they are all over the table) and some wood for the table itself:

I stamped and heat embossed in white some flowers and leaves from Deepti's 'Blooming Buds' stamp set from Stamplorations. I then water coloured with Distress Ink 'Evergreen Bough', just with my brush. After drying it with my heat gun, I adhered the wood veneer piece from Freckled Fawn.

I'm going to link this to the Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge where their theme is 'Use your favourite technique and/or product'. I can't get enough of heat embossing at the moment. Maybe its because its so cold here, I enjoy the use of the heat gun.....

You have one week to link your projects to the Addicted to Stamps challenge. The rest of the Design Team have some gorgeous designs on the blog to give you some ideas. Look forward to seeing you in the Gallery!

Take care
