Stamp Something & Creative Card Crew

Ever had a card that takes you ALL Day to do well thats this one! At first I had a darkers card underneath the DP but wanted to keep it quite pale, then I spent 2 hours looking for my prima flowers only for them to look AWFUL on the card, then I had to make corners as I dont have a punch or die cute & the card looked REALLY bare without it & I REALLY wanted to use ribbon on somewhere but didnt know where!! But phew I think I am finally happy with my card.

It fits into 2 challenges as well which I did by accident, I wanted to do the challenge on stamp something, which is green yellow & pink, & creative card crew, which is create a scene. I generally think all the way through ohh I'll combine the 2 but I only thought that at the end with this card (unless I did think that at the beginning & forgot lol!)

Card blank Craft tonic, Papermania card stock, Cordinations whitewash card stock, DP K&CO, X-Cut flower punch, Scalloped & plain circle nesties, jewel flowers from my stash, Magnolia Tilda & background stamped in Memento & colored with pro markers, Cuttlebug Swiss dots embossing folder, dovecraft thinking of you clear stamp.

I'm off to relax & watch some Seely Booth in Bones until Big Bro comes on, which I'm looking forward to cos Craig from BB1 comes in & I never saw any Big Bro until no 5 as I was working overseas!!!
