Hi everyone, it's Friday again....yay!
I've had a very busy week, in fact I've had a busy 2weeks.......so much has happened!
In the past few days I've been invited onto the design teams of Oak House Studio, Petal Lu and now Papermill !
To say I'm thrilled about all this is an understatement, and I do have another little announcement coming soon, but can't say anything yet :)
Anyway, enough of that......tonight I have another card made with the lovely Sunflower from OHS. I'm finding this stamp so versatile, and it looks good however it's used.
I just wanted very suble colouring for this one.I used distress inks with a water-brush
The main image was stamped then masked as I didn't want to 'overstamp' .
I used the linen cardstock from Papermill, of course....it's fab for stamping on.
Just a simple sentiment to finish off, and of course those seed-beads....told you I'd use them again, didn't I ? ;-)
Well, that's it for tonight...I'm off to bed, shattered. My son is opening a Pet Supplies shop next week, and we've been helping him this week to paint etc. I'm afraid my crafting has been put to one side for a few days, but hoping to get some new stuff done tomorrow.
Please leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking,
Catch you tomorrow

Beautiful sunflower card Barbara - you really make these come to life. (A cheap option for the middle of the sunflower is to use poppy seeds collected from the garden!!)
