A twist on The Stampman challenge

Hello All
Are you ready for an amazing weekend?
I'm not really in to sport but I do wish all of our Olympians the very best of luck in their endeavours, and here's to a fabulous and safe couple of weeks.
Over at The Stampman we have a new challenge for you, Anything Goes / Celebrations.
The card that I have made for you was actually inspired by the challenge over at the fantastic Our Creative Corner who are asking that you give one of your cards a Makeover.
This is my original card which was made quite a number of years ago, and if I'm brutally honest I actually quite like it. I do however prefer the Do Over!!
Now the challenge requires you do a makeover on a card that you really dislike so perhaps I don't fulfil the first part of the challenge entirely, but I hope that I will be forgiven.
I have used the Hero Arts - S5601 Newspaper Background which I stamped and embossed onto a piece of white card stock, and then sponged with Weathered Wood and Black Soot distress inks.
Next I stamped around the edge of the trimmed panel with my favourite Hero Arts -  F5042 Leaf Flourish.
I cut this panel up and mounted it onto gold patterned card stock.
The greeting has been added using the wonderful new clear stamp set from Woodware - JGCL560 Just To Say.


The flowers have been cut from card stock and vellum using a DooHickey and I have added Faux Card Candi centres.
I used my new Memory box die - Honeyblossom Sprig as the base on which to place the flowers which I attached using silicon.
I am really happy with the results and having show it to the guys at work I have to remake it with Roses for a Special Birthday card and also as a Ruby Wedding Anniversary card, so watch this space lol.
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the team have come up with, and remember that there is a £10 voucher up for grabs for the winner.
Have a great Weekend.

  3. I like the grid - it's definitely nice to be able to look back & find some things we like! The new version is so sweet & fiddly. I had to come peek - I had so much fun with this challenge :) Amazing the difference time makes!
