Introducing Daisy ....


I was recently lucky enough to win two gorgeous stamps from Elphine House as a prize from one of the blog challenges I had entered and they arrived yesterday morning.  Lynne, who sent them to me, enclosed a lovely card telling me about their challenge blog and yesterday when I had a quick look I spotted that their current challenge theme is 'hearts and ribbons' and decided to make a card for it.

So here is my card using the beautiful 'Daisy Hugging Dolly' which I think is a beautiful stamp.  I've used two different heart papers from Craft Creations and some sheer red ribbon.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Dream Valley Challenges - 'ribbon and bling'
Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog - 'favourite colour combo' (red and brown/kraft)
Shopping Our Stash - 'they say it's your birthday'
Card Making Mamas - 'birthday'
Card Crafter's Circle - 'paint the town red'
Simply Create Too - 'for a female'
I Love Promarkers - 'one for the girls'
Elphine House Blog - 'ribbons and hearts'

    Lovely clean layout Helen. Gorgeous image and I love the way you've reversed the paper colours like that...something I enjoy doing as I find it very effective.
    Gorgeous card.

    Thank you for joining us over at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge. Good luck.

    Hi Helen.. I love the framing in the Kraft colour... it gives a wonderful casual warm feel to the bold reds! Thanks for sharing in our RED challenge at Card Crafter's Circle!

    Lovely card, love the slightly rustic look created by using the kraft and red together.

    Thanks for joining us at Card Crafter's Circle this week, to paint the town red!
