When I got back from holiday I decided to treat myself to a couple of cute stamps from Sugar Nellie. I saw this one used on a card in a recent challenge and instantly fell in love with it. It's called Searching by Kathy Hare. I'd stamped it in Versafine sepia and watercoloured the image with distress inks. When I saw the Allsorts challenge this morning I thought it would be perfect! Their sponsors this week are one stop cardcrafts. I teamed it up with some very old papers from my stash - a Bitty Scrap pad called windswept from provocraft. I just love the blues and greens on this pad. they go so well with the distress ink colours.
My easel card was finished with punched flowers, some rainbow drops (Crafty Notions) die cut flourishes (Marianne designs) and some sticky ribbon.
Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!

Definitely a perfect image for the theme, and those papers do go with it so well. I think I've got some of the same papers stashed away somewhere, and yes, they are very old! xx
Beautiful card Sally I love the colours and that image looks so serene and peaceful.

I can see why you like these papers Sally, the colours are great and perfect for your lovely image. I really like those delicate swirls and your little punched flowers co-ordinate perfectly with the backing paper.
