I was very lucky to win a £25.00 gift voucher in the Snippets Playground and chose a voucher to spend at CraftStash as some items on my 'Wish List' were in their sale. I spent an extra £5.00 to avoid paying postage costs and was able to buy a Sizzix stamp and die set, two Creative Expressions dies, two Woodware stamps and a Creative Expressions stamp - so I have plenty of 'new toys' to play with this year. This card uses the lovely Creative Expressions 'Be Kind' stamp - I used the sentiment in the set but as it's separate from the floral frame stamp I can use the frame with other sentiment stamps too.

To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Creative Expressions 'Be Kind' stamp
Versafine Imperial Purple ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Lilac and Pale Gold Promarkers
Gold gems
Wink of Stella
Snippet of white matt card and gold sparkle card
I placed the white card into my MISTI and stamped the outline and sentiment a few times to get a good depth of colour before embossing them with clear embossing powder. The panel was trimmed, layered onto gold sparkle card and attached to the centre of the card blank. I used lilac and pale gold Promarkers to colour the flower and circles and then highlighted them with plenty of Wink of Stalla. To finish I added three small gold to the frame.
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - Anything But Square
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
As You Like It Challenge - Pearls or Gems (I don't often use either, but my favourite is gems and I have them in several colours - they're perfect to add a bit of sparkle to a card)
Moving Along With The Times - New Craft Item (I have used my new stamps)
We Love Stamping - Something New (I have used my new stamps)

That is a very pretty CE stamp Kath and love the bit of yellow and purple you have added, and the mustard yellow matted layer coordinates beautifully. Great that you managed to get so many things with the prize and Craft Stash have a great selection of brands and good items in their sales. x
Lucky you on your win and restricting your extra spend to just £5. I am sure if it was me it would have been an excuse to splash out. Love your card, great colours and it is so nice to see it in the we love stamping gallery. Thanks for joining us xx
