Here is my card for today - a garden inspired card. The main image is a clear stamp by Stamps Away which I've never actually used before even though I've had it for ages. I am going to enter it into the following challenges:
Passion for Promarkers 48 - In the Garden
The Creative Cottage - Going Green (recycling, see below)
Allsorts challenge - In stitches
Die Cut Dreams - Tear it up
I have used a recycled brown envelope which fits in with the "Going Green" theme and have torn the address off. The little flower was stamped with VersaMark. I've made a pocket out of the envelope which I thought would be nice to add a packet of two of seeds, with the gardening card.
I've lined inside the card with a floral paper from DCWV and added faux stitching.
The faux button was made using scraps of the floral liner paper - click here to see the fab tutorial on how to make faux buttons. There's no glitter/sparkle/bling on this card - which is unusual for me, I'll have to get the glitter ready tomorrow otherwise I'll be having withdrawal symptoms!
The image is coloured with pro markers and I've used flower soft to add texture on the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is part of a larger rubber stamp.
Lastly, here's the photo that I was having trouble uploading earlier on today:
Thank you Janet for getting in touch so quickly, your blog candy parcel will be posted tomorrow or Saturday, as soon as I can get to the Post Office.
Thanks for looking,
Amanda
