Agapanthus Thank You

I have an ultra simple card today...with lots of white space. I used a stamp I bought with a challenge prize from Simon Says Stamp, called 'Agapanthus Clusters' (it's a cling stamp by Stampendous), stamped in 'Faded Jeans' Distress Ink. I coloured in the 'outline' flowers with some more of the same ink watered down a bit. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Heartfelt Messages' set by Hero Arts, and the small adhesive pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts....and that's it...really simple.

    I love it Helen. I love the way you have matched up the cornflower blue colour matting under the white.... Perfect.

    I LOVE this stamp and own the wooden version! You've made a really lovely card with it and I like the extra touch with the gems.

    Fabulous Helen - I love this stamp and have the wooden version. I t has been quite neglected but I have pulled it out once or twice since CAS and LIM type cards have come back into vogue. Love how you have used it and matched up the backing mat and gems ;-)
    hope you're enjoying the Bank hiliday. I ahve a little candy on my blog if you're interested :-)
    Hugs
