I've made this quick and simple card using my brayer, Hydrangea B&J inkpad (just for a change lol) and some gorgeous Artemio stamps I got recently from the Altered Element. I matted the scene on some black card and layered it over a piece of card which I brayered with the same ink and then ran through the cuttlebug. I stamped the Elusive images sentiment on some more brayered card and layered it on a scrap of black card. I love this sentiment and I though it was perfect with the image. I added a little paper flower and a couple of flourishes cut on my cricut to finish off.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Sentimental Sunday: All about you (use your favourite sentiment)
The Corrosive Challenge : Black, White + one other colour
Papertake weekly Challenge: Sketch
Gingersnaps Colour Challenge (GC60) - Shades of Blue
Paperplay - Its sunny here (use sun or sunglasses)
Hand Full of Stamps: Joys of Summer
Its so hot here today, I'd love to be sat near the water but I'll have to settle for a walk by the ponds near my MILs lol
