Dragonfly Dreams - Floral

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today at Dragonfly Dreams, we begin a new monthly challenge for January 2027. Happy New Year to you all. Alyson has chosen - Floral -  to see the remainder of the design team's inspiration, please visit the blog.

My card, this month, is fairly simple but enjoyable to create. I began with a white 7 x 5in. deckle edge card. I used a slightly smaller piece of white card, which with the chisel end of a Pink Promrker I added a pink edging around the piece. The large 'Thank You' is a stamp frm My Paper World. The floral stamp is by Woodware stamps- called Perfect Petals. Coloured with Promarker alcohol pens. A glitter gem was added to each flower. Thanks again for your visit.
