Hi there! I hope you are having a good weekend. I am here alternating between crafting and school work after driving up to my Dad's this morning to take his shopping and make sure he is behaving himself!
I made a card using some bits and pieces that were lying around. I coloured the stamp (Inkylicious) with my distress markers onto a shape cut with my Spellbinders Decorative labels one, and with the die still in place I ink dusted the background in green and blue. I used tea dye DI to dust the edge to bring out that detail a bit more then mounted on the next size up of labels 1 with some silicone glue. I cut the two embossed panels (Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder) so they were the same size and mounted onto some gold card, adding a little more tea dye with my ink dusters. I added an organza ribbon at the bottom and stamped the base card with an inkylicious swirl and some antique linen DI. I'd just finished it when I spotted that the challenge at Allsorts this week is Flower Power. I did get round to making a card for Allsorts last week, but I never got it photographed, never mind posted, so it will have to wait until another day.
I will leave you with a few photos of my journey today. The snow laden trees were rather lovely!
Thanks for looking, and I hope you are managing to stay warm!

Lovely & striking with the colours of the flowers against the subtle background. The ribbon looks beautiful with the sheer effect against the gold & tea dye. Very different.

Do I see a hidden challenge in this post Sal ?
Whilst the pretty flowers on your card give a hint of spring the whole creation has wonderfully vintage feel to it.
The countryside has been beautiful this week although I never got to take the volume of photos I planned.

Your card reminds me wistfully of Spring, Sally. Those flowers are beautiful.
You look as though you have a bit more snow than us there.
Stay safe and warm

What a beautiful delicate looking card, Sally. I also love that photo of the big tree, it looks almost black and white and so effective. Take care in the snow. xx Maggie
Beautiful card and such a pretty design! I thought it was a gatefold at first. Love the colours.
Looks like you've got a lot more snow than we've had, but you're welcome to it! x
WOW WOW WOW Sally, I love your card, so beautiful flowers.
