Welcome,
thank you for taking the time to visit today.
A special welcome to my newest follower, Mary Smith of Grateful Heart Greetings, who makes some beautiful creations, and is very generous in sharing art she has created.
Today is the start of the July Challenge at We Love Stamping, where the theme this month is
Anything Goes with an optional twist of Fabulous Florals,
and where we have two gorgeous floral prizes from AALL & Create

I started this card by stamping a Stamplorations image, Bloom Border 1 and white embossing it
then painting it in Twinkling H2O's , which gave a gorgeous lustre to the image.

After fussy cutting the image, I decided to place it against a very dark blue base.
I sited the sentiment and white embossed it.

Then die cut a white frame and placed it on the blue base before angling the image and adhering it.
The final touch were some iridescent sequins, that sometime look white and then various colours show up as the angle the light hits it changes.

The inside was finished with an 'off the page' stamping of the image using Memento London Fog ink
I decorated the envelope in the same manner, but did not photograph it.
These are the fabulous prizes from AALL & Create
