Don't you just love it when these Sketch Challenges made card making so easy...this was one of those times and this card came together very quickly, with relatvely little stamping I have to say! So thank you Roxie for making it easy for me this week - I am loving it!!
I was inspired by this lovely DP that was in a RAK from sistah Pat Smethers and it all just came together from there with the middle panel being embossed. I added a layered flower and brad, plus ran some chiffon ribbon across this panel and attached a dragonfly.
The corners were also part of my RAK from Pat, and you know how I L-O-V-E those corners...I inked these ones to try and give a bit more of an aged/distressed look. the circles with the sentiments are attached with 3D foam tape to give a bit more 'oomph' to them and finished off by adding the extra pink brads.
I find this card to be quite pretty, not my normal colours or style really but I do like it, a lot. Funny, when I started card making I wasn't into flowers at all, but now I just love using them, they can add so much to the right card.....what do you think!? We evolve as we go in this amazing craft!
Thanks you for taking the time to look, I do appreciate your comments!

Linda~ Your DP goes so perfectly with the CB you used! Pink is one of my favorite colors, and I love how you have put these together with texture and distressing. Just beautiful sistah!
