JUST ADD INK #42

This week at Just Add Ink, the challenge is to make a card / project using this sketch as a starting point:





The thing that first caught my eye was the flower with a button centre, so I've gone with that.

Here is the card I made using my favourite colour (red), favourite card base (Crumb Cake), and my favourite new embossing folder!


Stamps: Friendly Words jumbo wheel, Occasional Greetings, Greenhouse Garden
Card: Crumb cake, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Real Red stampin' pad and marker, Basic Black stampin' pad
Other: Real Red polka dot ribbon, Basic Black satin ribbon, Real Red 1/8" taffeta ribbon, sponge dauber, paper snips, Basic Black button (from Neutrals assortment), Basic Rhinestones, mini glue dots, stampin' dimensionals, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Square Lattice embossing folder (available in Australia from 1st December!)
