I've Been Playing Again :)

....and at last used one if my many unused stamps - why, oh why, do I feel the NEED to buy them as soon as they are released and then don't get around to making a card with them for months!!! tut tut!

This is the gorgeous Charlotte from WOJ - she is a delight to colour. I've used my Promarkers and distressed around the edges with some Dist-inks.

The backing (and larger flower) are a paper that I got from my local craft shop - it's a paper with a sort of 'flocked suede' type coating - it feels like brushed suede (well sort of!).











A few challenges I'd like to enter this card for...


Whiff of Joy - Fuzz!

Craftalicious - Own Flowers (does it count that punched a few petals and made them into a large flower?)

Ellephantastic - Distressing (around the edge of the image)

Dutch Dare  - Anything Goes
