CUTE CARD THURSDAY CHALLENGE NO. 56


My next card is for Cute Card Thursday Challenge No. 56 - Floral Fantasy. I do not have many floral stamps on their own, and decided this would be a good opportunity to use this stamp I have had for ages from Elusive Images. I tried stamping this image, and attempted using embossing powders, but after three attempts, gave up, and just stuck to using good old Stazon. The image has been coloured with Sukura Gel Pens, and cut to size, and layered on purple and green card. The backing paper is from a K & Company paper pad called Lifes Journey Pansy Pad. The card has been finished off with some purple ribbon and a few purple gems, and some pansy flowers with pearl brads, from my craft stash. Many thanks for stopping by, and hope you have a great day!
