Hi Folks
Can't believe how quickly time is flying by at the moment. We are already into May. Another four weeks and I will be going on my holiday to Turkey. I am so looking forward to it.
Today's card share was made using a free indigo blu stamp set that I got recently in a crafting magazine.
The main image was stamped in purple ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I inked around the edges with some distress ink and matted onto dark purple card. For the background I used the flourish stamp that came with the set and randomly stamped around the edge. I then softened the edges with some more distress ink. The little words are from the sentiment. I added some paper flowers from Sweet Lilac Paper Flowers, some punched butterflies and gems.
Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.
