Floral Blog Project :)

Hi there! On Friday it was my turn to post a blog project over at Little Claire's. I have chosen to make a simple card that can be done in different colour schemes, and adapted for lots of different occasions. 

I have used the ‘Spikey Flowers’ stamp from Little Claire's. This is currently available as a ‘Dinkies’ stamp and could put used as a smaller image or stamped several times for a bigger image. Alternatively you could use another  floral stamp. The sentiment is from the 'Little Beauties' Tag set. For this card I have also used Memento ink in 'Lady Bug' and 'Tangelo, the papers are My Mind's Eye 'Notable'. Gems and pearls from my stash :)

The papers are from a Papermania set, mounted onto light turquoise card stock. The dies I have used are Memory Box corner bow and Whimsey Stamps corners set. 

For this card I have used the bird cage image from the stamp set, again coloured with ProMarkers and cut with Nestabilities. The papers are Craft Creations, mounted on pale purple card. I have inked all the edges lightly with pale purple ink. The card blank is from Craftwork Cards.
