Scraps and Flowers

 Morning and we have a new ATG challenge starting at The Crafty Addicts. and sadly this will be my last DT card as I will be leaving at the end of the month.

I made a card using scraps with inspiration from Pinky and Alyson and a few more tbh.The background was just scraps cut to same width(half an inch) and layered onto cardstock then matted onto blaxk.The flower image was cut from the cover page of my Watercolour flower pad cut with Penny Black Antique frames  dies,flower dies were from John Next Door(bought from a FB declutter page) with foliage dies from Stampin up,gems from stash.



PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER
