I like the flower from my hand made designer paper. I stamped and fussy cut two other (different) flowers and saved them to use another time. I'm really liking distress inks. I recently added some mini ones to my collection and intend to use them soon. I want to work on my blending.

ReplyDeleteThat is one sweet flower and love how its happy and patterned compared to the soft, dreamy pink background. It really makes it the star! So very glad you shared it with us at The Flower Challenge!
ReplyDeletePretty pink color washed background

Beautiful card Sheila! I love your background, so pretty. Distress inks are so fun to work with aren't they?! Love that flower too, looks great with your background. Sorry I've been MIA, just can't seem to get my act together. Thanks for your sweet comments on putting my furbaby down, it wasn't easy but something that I knew had to be down. Savannah misses Pockets so much, I feel so bad for her as she doesn't understand. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI love this card, Sheila! You've done an outstanding job with the background! It's sooo pretty! Great card design and that flower is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Sheila! Love how you used two different types of ink blending here and I'm always a sucker for a fussy cut flower. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely background to the beautiful flower
