Scented Blooms

 Morning and time for the midway inspiration post at Stamping Sensations.The challenge is Anything Stamped/CAS and we are sponsored by Craftstash with a great prize to win.

I found these offcuts of black card that looked like pic frames so I glued them ontop of the images which are all from ALL&Create coloured with promarkers and faux stitching round the edges with a fine black liner pen.(card already claimed lol)

That was an inspired idea with your black offcuts, it works a treat and I love the rather random or jumbled look. Wish I could do that. Everything has to be straight with me! xx

Lovely creative and awesome post.. A wonderful design with a great background and a perfect sentiment as well!

Uschi said...

Beautiful card and great colorful flowers. I love these pastel colors and the background papers. For me there is a touch of vintage in your card that makes your card look so unique. And that black pieces just looks like a negative of a photo. The flowers are really accented by that black frame.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful card with the Everybody-Art Challenge.
