Bright and Beautiful

Hi Folks
Well it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day here.  The sun is shining and already quite hot.  It is my eldest daughter's birthday today.  She will be 27 which makes me feel quite old.  Where have all the years gone I wonder?  She is coming round tonight and we are going to have a takeaway so looking forward to that.

I am caught up on all my DT work so thought I would make a card to enter into the Little Claire's monthly challenge.  They have two prizes up for grabs this month and one of them is to be a guest designer for them in August and September.  A fab prize and would love the chance to work with more of their gorgeous stamps.

Here is the card I created using the sketch provided.


This little stamp called Spiky Flower is one of the first stamps that I bought from Little Claire.  I just added a touch of colour with my promarkers and then added some stardust stickles for added sparkle.  Not sure if the photo has really picked this up.  The papers were in my scraps box and I inked the edges with some distress ink.  Added a ribbon and bow, some flowers and gems to finish the card.  The flowers were purchased from Samaflora.  She makes some gorgeous flowers - here is the link to her Facebook page.  I also punched out some little corners for the image.  Do love this corner punch that I have and use it quite a lot.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I do enjoy reading all your comments.

    Oh wow Mags, this is just so elegant and the bow very scrumptious. Just pink and greens is the perfect colour combo.
