Flowers at Clarity

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I hope you are well! I am good - feeling positive after my exertions yesterday. I'm hoping to squeeze a bike ride in at some point today - but it all depends on the man from Hillary's blind who is coming this morning about my bathroom. I hope he comes early and doesn't stay long then I can get a few miles cycling in before I head off to school library for the afternoon!

Today I have a quick card to share with you that I have made with the clarity floral challenge in mind.



I have used two clarity stamps and first and second generation stamping to create the effect. Its pretty simple but I think its effective!

I'd like to enter this into claritystampchallenge-35 floral

Have a great day - the girls both have a friend coming home from school tonight for tea so it be a bit of a madhouse here!

Big hugs

Rachel x

    Love this very elegant card Rachel and it's pretty being monochrome too! Hope you manage to get out - I had to abandon my run today as eldest's bus broke down on the way to our stop, so I had to take her into college :( Have a great day!

    Love this rose stamp, and how wonderfully it took to 2nd generation stamping. This is such an elegant & lovely card; love the simplicity of the design layout, allowing the outstanding imagery to be the focus. The thin ribbon trim was the perfect accessory. Hope ya'll enjoy the stay-over! Should be lots of fun. TFS & Hugs
