Virginia's Challenge

Virginia has posted a challenge here called "Beat the Winter Blahs". Her one criteria is to have a "wow" factor on the project.  Since today is the first day I've seen the sun in ages I wanted to make a bright card that felt like spring. I think the colours on this qualify as a "wow" factor, don't you?

The flower is from Magenta and I stamped it twice on some paper I coloured with India Ink and embossed it in white. I curled the petals on both layers to give some dimension and used two of my border punches for the sentiment piece.


























Thanks for stopping by!
