Welcome everyone...............hope that the weather is improving as its very much been a mixed bag in our neck of the woods !! One minute is lovely sunshine then dark clouds and heavy rain........!!!
Today I am sharing an 8 by 8 easel card made for a friend who has recently retired.
Once again the beautiful Ophelia stamp from Stampsmith was used and a variety of leaves and tattered florals from Tim Holtz. With a little cup and saucer also making an appearance as she loves nothing more than a cup of tea !!
Having fun with Paperartsy Infusions at the moment..................so will be back to share some of the projects next week...............meanwhile look after yourselves and have fun crafting xxxxx
I am also entering this project over at 613 Avenue Create where the challenge is Anything Goes with a twist - American Beauty and Use a Rose
It has also been some time since I played over at Fashionable Stamping where the challenge theme is Beautiful Blooms. Ophelia has leaves/blooms in her hair.
Over at The Artistic Stamper the challenge theme is All Things Bright and Beautiful and as my card is lovely and bright with florals/butterflies etc I am sharing it over there
Live & Love Crafts new challenge theme is Sprinkles of Summer, where my lovely florals, butterflies with pearls and stamped image fit in.

Hello friend! Hope you are well! LOVE this lovely card...the flowers are beautiful, and what a cool design and shape to the card. Take care!
ReplyDeleteYour easel card is gorgeous! Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE that stamp - Ophelia is very beautiful and really should be inked often. She is so prettily ensconced in your lovely botanical scene and the gentile tea-cup is a perfect accompaniment. Best wishes to your friend for a happy retirement. Weather very similar here - rather wearisome really - wish the sun would break thru for a decent spell! Nicola x
ReplyDeleteHi Annie!! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment!They are always appreciated. Your card is absolutely gorgeous. That stamp....so lovely and almost has a romantic haunting effect to it. Your addition of the beautiful dimensional roses really works perfectly with that stamp! I'm loving the doilies and the muted, blended colors of your background as well. Such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, I love the focal imagery and the flowers are the perfect addition. Hope,you are well. Tracy x
