I splashed the background with 3 glitter pens from Crafter's Companions.

I used stamps by Leonie Pujol from Crafter's Companions to creater

the background and the two main images. 

They were stamped with Versafine Black ink, and embossed with

clear embossing powder, If you have everything ready at hand, this can be done.

I used Promarkers to colour. A Sakura white gel pen for highlights.

Doodled lines around the card to give it an edge.

I love this stamp from Inkylicious - Poppy Lea, which has been

exdtended though you can't tell where it was joined up.

I coloured the flowers with my new Leonie Sparkle Pens.

there is a lot of glitter shining on the card, though it never shows 

when photographed, such a shame.

No Patterned Paper

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today begins a new challenge at

Make My Monday.

Fliss will be choosing the winners from the entries for

No Patterned Paper

The DT have excelled in producing their creations, please pop 

over to check them out.

My card seemed to slowly evolve from scraps and items amongst 

the mess on my desk from either previous projects or laziness.  

There was an embossing folder which hadn't found it's way into 

my E.F. storage system from Crafter's Companion. With this I embossed

the black card. I rubbed over with Gold Wax Patina, also on my desk. 

The piece on the side is a leftover from another project. The colours have

been built up with various ink sprays. 

The flowers are stamped with Leonie Pujol - Everlasting Love stamps.

I had intended to use these to decoupage but changed my mind.

The sentiment - Crafter's Companion. again , left from another project.

The card finished, some of the items have now been put away.

Hi, welcome to my blog.  Today starts a new challenge at 

Fantasy Stampers

Our challenge will celebrate the summer --

Summer Colours

Please remember we will only consider projects with stamping.

For my card, I first blended several Disress Inks in Summery colours.

I stamped the floral spray from Leonie Pujol - Everlasting Love

I stamped it again, coloured it with Promarkers, then glued onto the 

card over the first stamped area.  I then added several additonal stamps

from the same set, coloured the bees. 

The sentiment is from Crafter's Companions.
