Welcome.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.
Today's card is for the mid-month inspiration for We Love Stamping July Challenge

I started with a Hero Arts background stamp - Bold Prints, Flowers and Swirls, and white embossed it onto the white card base, I then loosely painted it with water colour paints.

Added the sentiment (a magazine freebie) after embossing in white on black card,
And mounted that over some silver ribbon - I also used the ribbon down one side of the panel

I chose a simple finish with the ribbon and a few pale blue sequins, as I wanted the stamp to take centre stage. The focal panel was mounted on black, and then a blue card base.

I added a strip of the background to the inside of the card.
Our prizes this month are these beautiful florals from Aall & Create
