I made this card for Speedy's Friends challenge #16: http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/ The challenge is to 'Think Flowers'. I love the stamped corners Jo aka reddyisco uses on many of her cards... vines, flourishes, baby's breath, etc. I found a stamp that I thought I could use that was similar. (I'm not caseing any of her cards..the corner just reminds me of her beautiful cards.)I handmade my flower and stamped it with the same image as the corners.
I also made the card for The Play Date Cafe challenge: http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/ It is to use earthy colors-dark brown, green, and beige.

Benzi this is so creative. I love how you stamped the leaf branches in the middle of the flower as well as on the card. That is a wonderful little touch that adds to the charm of this darling card.

.....Hi Benz....have been very busy lately and not on line much so I came back to look at your card again and read your comments, when I noticed the matching stamping on your flower, which somehow missed the first time......just had to pipe up again.....I LOVE, LOVE the way it looks....what a creative idea....I can't wait to try it. TAFS.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
