Good Evening

I hope you are having a good weekend.  Rather typically, the Bank Holiday weather has been rubbish.  Thank goodness for crafting!

I am trying to make use of all my crafting purchases that haven't yet seen the light of day, and today's card is the first outing for this particular stamp set.  The card took me all afternoon to complete, but I am pleased with the result.

I followed the sketch over at Fussy and Fancy Challenge and the topic at The CD Sunday Challenge which this week is 'Just Because'.

All the stamps are from the same stamp plate from the Summer Adorables range by Jayne Nestorenko.  I stamped onto watercolour card using sepia versafine ink and coloured using Lyra Aquacolours.  The mat was created using a 'Get In Shape' template and I inked round the edges using Antique Linen distress ink.  The backing papers are printed from the Adorables cd-rom and all are matted onto silver mirri card.  The flower border is made using a spellbinders shapeabilities die carefully cut and then put together.  A gem is then added to the centres.  The flowers are cut using a die from the same set, layered up and then a gem added to the centre.

The inside of the card has been decorated to co-ordinate.
