ABC CHALLENGE....F IS FOR FLOWERS.


The ABC challenge this week is "F is for flowers",should imagine there will be a few joining in this week,most people embellish with flowers.
For my card i've used a Foam stamp i got from QVC some time back and had never got round to inking it up,it's a fairly large stamp,the card base i've used is 6x6,this will give you some idea of how large.
I stamped the image using Versafine Vintage Sepia and just added a touch of colour to the flowers using chalks.All layers,lace and flowers have been distressed lightly with the same ink pad.
The paper is Basic Grey "Urban Prairie",Prima flowers and a Dovecraft flower brad.
The lace came with the Blog candy i won from Bev,gorgeous lace Bev thank you.
Sentiment is from a set from Create and Craft,no make.
Flat backed pearls and hatpin from stash.
Quick post...most dash now to start the tea,
Hope you've all had a good day,
Take care
San x
