Recently one of my girlfriends handed down some beautiful old stamps to me that she was done with. To let her know how much I loved the gift I made her birthday card using one of the stamp sets. This is an old Close to My Heart set called Bulbs in Bloom. I randomly stamped the blooms and leaves and loosely colored them and the BG with watercolors. Added some clear Wink of Stella to the flower petals. After that I added some 7gypsies stamps and distressed the edges to give it an old post card look and added some beautiful yarn/twine/thread (I don't know what it is!!) that I found at Tuesday Morning. It was in the yarn bin but it has little tiny sequins woven into it - and I thought it belonged on my cards!! The image is matted on light pink cardstock, mounted on a Kraft notecard. Thanks for taking a peek at my creation. Have a wonderful day!!

Oh, Lisa, this is beautiful! I love the flowers and the soft colors you've used to color along with the beautiful shading! And I do love that twine with the bitty sequins in it (sweet touch)! Elegant card, sweet friend, and I can see why it was favorited this week! Hugs!
