Challenge 85 at Crafty Cardmakers


Hi everyone,

Sorry for MIA lately but I have been a little busy! I am now back and ready for the latest challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers which is hosted by Marie (MI), who has chosen the theme 'Blooming Images'.

Marie said 'I do love my flowers and this time I would like flower images to be the main focus of the card. No people, no landscapes. Just flower images. A single rose, a poinsettia, a daisy... you get it. Can be flowers in a vase or just the flowers. Of course you can still decorate with flowers, butterflies or what you feel like, but the image is a flower of some kind, NOT a tree and NOT a person holding a flower' 

Please ensure your card has only a flower/flowers as the main focus in order to qualify for the winner or Top 5 slot. 

PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE RULES BEFORE ADDING YOUR CREATION AND CHECK IT MEETS THE CRITERIA AS LAID OUT ABOVE - ANY ENTRY NOT COMPLYING WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE REMOVED

We are sponsored by CRAFTS AND ME with the choice of 3 digital stamps from their extensive range

So, on to my interpretation of the challenge:



I have used the lovely Hydrangea clear stamp from Inkylicious. The stamp was inked up with Brilliance inks and stamped onto white card. I cut out the image using a Spellbinders die and added some Distress Ink to give it a vintage look. The background paper is from one of the new Papermania sets 'Vintage Notes'. A large pink organza bow and pearls complete this simple card.

Now, go take a look at the challenge to see the creations of my fab team-mates. The challenge runs for the next fortnight so why not have a go yourself?

Thanks for looking, back soon

    Sharon this is gorgeous. Your hydrangea is soft and almost ethereal with the lovely chiffon ribbon nestling beside it in a bow.
