My DT offering for this month at Stamping Sensations is this Birthday card and out theme is Floral Fancies.We are sponsored by Sizzix, and please pop over to the blog and check out the prizes....as it's Christmas we are giving away 3 prizes this month- but remember before you get all excited and start crafting -
WE ARE A STAMPING CHALLENGE!
So you have to have stamping as the focal point of your project!
I recently got my hands on Stampin Up's Butterfly Basics (Bargain!). So have used it to create this card.
Done on ivory linen textured card for a change from my usual white.
The stamps are lovely.
I used Distress Marker Peeled Paint on the flower stem and leaves and teamed it with a Versamagic 'Old Rose' for the flower heads.
The background was stamped using 'Burnt Umber' Versamagic and the sentiment was done in Memento Rich Cocoa.
Just matted it onto a co-ordinating piece of card and done.
Pretty and delicate - (not a bit like me!)
Hope you find time to join us this month, but please observe our rules then it is fair for everyone.
(Have scheduled this as I am at a Presentation Lunch in Bedfordshire so hope Mr Blogger behaves and publishes!)

Simply gorgeous, Viv! Such a pretty stamp and so delicately inked
oh wow, I love this flower stamp! And the colours are beautiful, very well chosen, lady :)
I love SU things, I used to buy tons and never use it ha ha ha! Especially paper :) But a crafter can't have enough stash, me thinks!!

This is so pretty, really soft and delicate colours Viv, and the stamping in the background goes beautifully. Have just been to Di's blog and seen that you have been laid low with something nasty. Hope you are soon back on your feet. Take care. x
Beautiful and great job with that stamping. Beautiful done.
Hi Viv
Gorgeous creation, love your design.
Happy crafting
