Welcome
Yes, I am back again!! Some of my stamp class ladies wanted to go meet the Kiwistamping owners, so we arranged a visit today.....
As you may recall, I blame them for my addiction to this craft.
I did succumb and buy some more stash, including this wee stamp, and then just had to use it when I got home.

This is one of those cards that did not turn out anything like what I had first envisaged... but it was started before I bought the stamp.

The image was coloured with pencils - I did think of blending them, but decided to simply leave it 'as was'.

I had no die that would fit the panel, so used a border die to cut both sides of the red panel.

The sentiment was stamped on scrap of handmade paper (with Lady Bug ink, another new purchase). I used the same paper on the base of the card, and all the fluffy edges were sponged with violet ink. The final details were the bow and some sequins.

And I remembered to 'finish' the inside of the card.
