I've treated myself to another of the D'Arcy's Diaries digi stamps - one of the latest releases called 'Listen to the Birds' - isn't it gorgeous? I decided to do something a bit more vintage with this card and used one of the new kraft card blanks I bought a few weekends back when I went to the Samuel Taylor shop in Skipton.
The background paper I've used is from Kanban and I've added some lace, four paper flowers and Card Candi. For the background to the digi stamp I've used Adirondack Hazelnut to add some extra colour.
I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:
D'Arcy's Diaries Challenge - 'flower power'
Crafty Purple Frog - 'let's get distressed'
The Stamping Boutique - 'distress'
Crafty Creations Challenge - 'flower power'
Moving Along With the Times - 'shabby chic and/or vintage'

ReplyDeleteVery nice done! I like the way how you made your background off the digi! it's done with a kind of 'gun' if I'm right?
ReplyDeleteLovely card Helen. Lovely gentle colour tones. I'm a great fan of inking round the image I think it really helps the image stand out. :)
