Fresh Card

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the absence, life's been a bit hectic! Unfortunately, no-one left a comment to my last post, so there was no blog candy winner. But I have a new card for you today. This card was designed by Marelle Taylor (she truly is a genius), it uses the new stamp set Fresh Cuts. I really enjoy the sponge dauber technique, it allows for such elegance with such ease!

I made this card at the Stamp Camp run by Marelle and Teneale earlier in the year. Can you imagine a whole weekend of stamping without interruption?! Bliss! I used Old Olive cardstock and stamped the 'Polka Dot' background in Old Olive ink and layered Pumpkin Pie cardstock. On the Whisper White cardstock I have used the felt flowers from Flower Fusion (Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and Old Olive) with silver brads through the middle. The stems I created by freehand cutting and for the leaves I used the 5-Petal Flower punch. The grass was also created with some freehand snips and the "For You" sentiment is from the new stamp set 'Fresh Cuts'. Sorry for the poor photo, the light wasn't very good.
