A stamped card ..

.. well one image & one greeting.  But it is a start.

In order to get my mojo going I decided to seek inspiration - & found another challenge blog (I think I had entered one of their challenges before) - it is called Sunday Sketch & Stamp blog.

Here is their sketch;

& here is my card;

I created a black square card used tent orientation (that is, fold at top) & chose some pink / lavender coloured papers from my stash which I layered with black card. Then I stamped in black archival ink this lovely tulip onto the dotty pink paper.  I had seen something on the Internet last year about stamping & then colouring on patterned paper.  This is the first time I have tried it.  I used my pearlescent water colour paints to colour the flower.  The happy birthday is from Clearly Besotted Stamps & the flowers were in my stash.  I used 3 paper flowers & into the centres I glued some mini paper roses.  The ribbon is a strip of the paper on the central layer. 

I quite like the sketch & may use it again - it may even be one of those I give you to work to.

Tomorrow I have a crochet workshop - the first for a while - as I had to cancel a couple due to my bad throat & my hospital visit.  It will be good to get back in the swing of things again.

Not sure what crafting I will get done tomorrow - but fingers crossed I will make something.

'Bye for now.
