Today I have a card to share with you that I am very pleased with - its for my sister in law, Jane, who has a birthday coming up. I have been desparate to use my Leonie circle die and also my new JOFY stamps - this card has combined the two.
I started by stamping and colourising the flowers - I used distress inks and pens to do the colouring then fussy cut them. I also die cut the circles using my Leonie die.
Next I made the background - I started with fossilised amber DI around the edges then stamped and coloured in the leaves. Next I assembled the card.
I've added small gems and glossy accents to some of the centres of the flowers - then I made a few marks on the background using the smaller stamps from this set. I adore these stamps - I fear you may be seeing them again very soon!
I would like to enter this card into the current Paperartsy challenge which is making-marks and also simonsaysstampblog mondaychallenge - stamp it
Big hugs to you and i hope you have a great day!
