Bold Botanicals

Today's card features a floral stamp from Tonic Studios called 'Botanical Background', that I got from a charity shop at the weekend. I stamped it onto a piece of watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I stamped a sentiment onto a strip of vellum using one of the stamps from the 'Paper Cut Messages' set by Simon Says Stamp in black ink, then heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder to set it. I wrapped the vellum around the floral background, then matted it onto a bright pink card and added it to a kraft card blank.

  2. One of these days I'm going to visit your charity shops, you get such bargains, never see craft goodies in ours. Gorgeous bright happy card and the vellum strip works nicely, many thanks for joining us at Allsorts, it's a perfectly feminine entry.
