I made this card for Sabrina's Ways To Use It challenge this week. While this particular challenge is not a strength for me, I gave it my best shot!
Sabrina challenged us to create a card with a collage. Our task was not to use a collage style stamp, but to create the look with stamps in your stash.
I used a script first and then the doily. After that I filled in with a textured background stamp. Finally, I stamped my leaves, flower and sentiment over the top.
To finish off my card, I sponged the edges, matted the main panel and pierced the corner and tied a bow through it with burlap twine.
Thanks for looking!

Toni, it sure looks like a strength to me! Love your beautiful collage. The background doily and script work so well with the flowers. Your card is lovely.

I think this is beautiful, Toni. I love the monochromatic greens with the pop of colour from the flower. I don't have anything like a delicate doily but this makes me want to try a collage with Medallion and see how it would turn out.

Glad I’m not alone in feeling challenged by this. It’s hard to let go and not keep it all perfectly neat. But your gorgeous card shows that there’s nothing wrong with keeping the collage neat and tidy. It’s beautiful!

What a wonderful layered background with those beautiful stamps. I love the colors you've used together, they are so fresh looking. And the foliage and flower stamps are long-time favorites for me.

One would never know it isn't your strength, Toni! This card is beautifully done with great ink color and the perfect combination of stamps. I just love the little pop of color in the flower, too.
