And now for something a bit different..

Good morning bloggers...and it's time for another challenge over at My Mum's Craft Shop.  today's challenge is "sentiments".  Make something with a sentiment....easy!!

The sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps and Pink Cat Studio who are both giving 5 digis to one lucky winner.

Now my card....it acually looks better IRL however I will need to retake the photo in proper daylight.  I have used papers from Fancy Pants - Happy Together. I stamped some script text onto kraft card and then I cut the flower from the card using a TH sizzix die.  I sprayed the reverse of the flower to make them a bit pliable and curled the edges(when they dry they are stiff), I added a rolled flower to the centre of the big flower and added some twine, fibres and grassy stuff.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up.
