I'm getting there ....

I'm slowly catching up making cards, maybe if I stayed off the computer for longer I might catch up quicker LOL! The other day I had a box of gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, I just love their flowers, so I decided to use them instead of looking at them 'cause they look very pretty in a large box container. I've used stickles to add abit of glitter to the flowers and around the image, but the photos don't pick that up.

Again, I've used my LOTV Rosie Posy stamp and my DCWV paper pad.

I've entered my card into the following challenges:

Creative Card Crew - challenge 50 sketch

Papertake Weekly - Shiny, Sparkly and Special

Paper: DCWV Citrus stack

Stamp: LOTV Rosie Posy
