Anything Goes at Eclectic Ellapu

Good morning folks, isn't it strange that the weekend always seems to take ages to arrive but the months disappear in the blink of an eye? I can't believe it's July already but it is so that means it's time for a new challenge at Eclectic Ellapu and this month the Pink team have a nice easy 'Anything Goes' theme for you. My purple teamies have a fab challenge and lots of inspiration too so if you have a minute pop over to have a peek!!

For my DT card I've mixed digital images and stamping to create this summery card.  the background was made using stamps from Polkadoodles, Stamp Soup which gives you loads of lovely elements to create your own flowers. The flower filled tea cup is from the Lavender Tea Collection available as a CD or a download. I printed the image several times and had a happy hour cutting out all the flowers, curling the petals and decoupaging them up. 

I inked the edges of the layers and added a little glamour dust. To finish off I've added a ribbon, some stamped flowers and little pearls and gems.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

CRAFT: Ribbon and sparkle

Corrosive Challenges: lots of layers

Crafty Creations: Anything goes

Creative Knockouts: flowers

Dragonfly Dreams: say it with flowers

Sisterhood of Crafters: Create your own background

Thanks so much for visiting today, hope to see you again soon
