Fleuriste

Just managing a few minutes on my poor neglected blog, I have been snowed under with making cards for my charity money raising, think I am going to have to stop soon as I have no time for anything else, I set myself a goal of selling at least a hundred cards and I am well over the halfway mark now.I did enjoy my craft shop visiting day out with makes and takes at both places and of course a few bits and pieces just fell into my basket including the Newsprint Fleuriste background stamp above, I love it just on its own ,seemed a shame to coevr it up so just added the lady from Non Sequeteur? and the freebie butterfly stamp from Craft Stamper.The background piece is a cover a card stamp and its more pink than it looks on here. Thought this might do for the Fashionable Stamping challenge which is about getting inky, I have used distress inks to colour it. I must remember to actually put in on the challenge this time, I wondered why I had not got any comments on the Asian challenge, well I hadn't added it to the challenge.

    Hi Joan...wow ~ such a beautiful card! I am glad that you added the girl and the butterfly, they are coloured beautifully and compliment the whole card. I tried to aim for 50 cards once and fell in a heap ~ a really magnificent effort!
    Thanks for joining us in our inky and messy challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.

    Hi Joan, your card is absolutely beautiful, love that stamp, the added lady and the butterfly - Craft Stamper are asking people to send in a photo of their work which includes that IndigoBlu butterfly stamp, you may want to do that too. A x
