City Crafter 267

Hello friends
It's time for a new challenge at City Crafter and this week my dear friend Stella is hosting for us with a 
Colour Challenge


"Use Blue, Green and a Splash of Red"

Time for a bit of ink blending me thinks


I started by stamping and white embossing my card with a crackle effect stamp and then blended blue and green inks all over


I have an obsession with poppies lately in case you haven't noticed Lol! And though these flowers technically aren't poppies (Velvet Blossoms by Poppystamps) I kind of made them look like poppies


The sentiment is a Rubon ... Perfect for applying to vellum that you can't actually stamp on

Our Guest Designer this week is a fellow Brit - the talented Liz Carvill ... Do stop by her lovely blog and say "Hi" Her cards are fabulous!
Once again we are offering a GD spot to the challenge winner so get creative and come join us this week at City Crafter

Have a lovely day!
