I've made a card for the Friday Sketchers challenge with a great sketch by Carole..............and yet another of the cutest little stamps from LOTV.
I've coloured the image with distress inks and aqua-promarkers, I had these ages and couldn't figure out how to use them properly until I saw a lady demo them on Create and Craft recently, then the penny dropped! They are so easy, can't believe I haven't used them more! But I will now lol.
The band across the centre is a new Martha Stewart punch, the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the pearls are all from Katy.
The scrunched up flower is made using the poinsettia dies from Marianne. Three of each size, sprayed with water and scrumpled up then unravelled and carefully assesmbled with a brad and spacer. Top tip - pierce a hole through the centre of each prior to spraying! Found that one out the hard way! The roses are handmade and the flower in the top right is from the new doily dies from Marianne.
Thanks for taking the time to drop by, if you leave a comment I will try to get back to you............promise ;o)

This is beautiful! I love all of your flowers. I've been wondering whether to buy the Marianne poinsettia dies and I think you have convinced me now!
Hi Barbara, Beautiful card! Such a cute image and I love the handmade flowers. I keep meaning to try making my own but always reach to my rather large stash of flowers. I really must have a go!

Hi Barbara, its so lovely to see you back in blogland. I'm so sorry to hear that you've been through a tough time recently. You are right, time is a great healer and it's great that your creative mojo is back with a vengance. This card is stunning. I love your handmade flowers - I'm a bit too guilty of using bought flowers all the time - I must make more of an effort after seeing your beautiful creations.
What a fantastic card. I love the colors, the cute image and the handmade flowers are great!
Hugs, AndreaM
