F.... is for Flowers.

Hello again blogging friends...

 

This is my second post for today.. Mr Mojo seems to be on my side the past few days..(lets hope he stays around for a while)..lol

 

Right onto my card... For this one I have used Daisy's digi from Stamping Boutique...

 

 

I have coloured with promarkers..The DP's are From me to you pack.. And the gorgoeus gingham ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons. I used pastel colours for the image and papers but thought would layer onto black cardstock to make it stand out more, Im quite happy how it turned out, but hope it still qualifys for the challenge at Totally papercrafts??

 

 

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

I used the other complimentary ribbon to decorate the bottom of the card... These new ribbons can be found here along with many more new releases.. Pop over they are sooooo adorable would be a shame for you to miss them.. 

For the top of the card I used a backing paper from my scraps box from last year. Added some sparkley glitter to the tree and fence.. Then I added a Molly Bloom stamp that I coloured with promarkers. 

To finish I added some gems, snowflakes and a snowman topper..
