Make My Monday Week 33

Well I've just about made this challenge by the skin of my teeth because there will be a new nature topic over at Make My Monday tomorrow!!  We are still on a nature theme for January and this week it was 'flowers and leaves'.  I've used stamps from Faith in Nature by Stampin Up; the background paper is also theirs and it has leaves and swirls.  A Top Note die has been embossed with leaves as well and a simple border and ribbon added. Images were coloured with Flex Markers.

I cannot believe that I've not actually made a card or inked any stamps for over a week - nearly forgotten how!!  This last week just seemed to disappear in no time at all but I really aim to get inky this coming week - getting withdrawal symptoms.

Well I missed the deadline which must be earlier than I thought - never mind at least I've made a card today!!

  4. I know - the week vanished!! Delightful soft colours & I like the way you used both a leaf & a flower image for the theme. I love the placement of your ribbon & the way the knot picks up the shape of the embossed matting panel.

  9. Shame you missed the deadline Val but it's a beautiful card that someone is going to be very pleased to receive at some point. Pretty colour combo and lovely images. I like the embossed layer too.
