Today's card is one of those which unfortunately we all need from time to time and it is good to have a few in hand rather than having to rush around to make one in a hurry. I've used a piece of card which had been inked with some Pixie powders and possibly Brusho and onto this I stamped some dandelion heads in a matching purple ink as well as the sentiment using black. Next I over stamped the dandelion heads using Versamark and embossed with white detail powder, finally mounting this onto a darker purple layer and then onto the base card.
Dandelion stamp - from a magazine freebie set
Background - inked piece of card from my oddments boxes
Beautiful background Val a perfect card for such an occasion

A beautiful card Val and how apt that you should post it here on the day that the Duke Of Edinburgh has passed away.
