Clarissa Bubble Bloom

I made this card for a friend's birthday using an old Woodware 'Bubble Bloom' stamp and some Card Candi that I came across in the bottom of my oddments drawer.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Woodware 'Bubble Bloom - Clarissa' and Clearly Besotted 'Fabulous Fuchsias' stamps
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Red Card Candi
     Purple enamel nailheads
     Lili of the Valley 'Pressed in Time' paper 
     Snippet of white matt card

I used brown ink to stamp the flower and sentiment onto a snippet of white matt card before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  The panel was trimmed, layered onto green paper and attached to the centre of the card blank.  I stamped the leaves onto another piece of green paper, fussy cut them and attached them to the card.  For the flower bloom, I attached red Card Candi to the large dots and purple nailheads to the smaller dots.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Daisy Chain Challenge -  No Design Paper
     Pearly Sparkles Challenge - Clean and Simple
     Seize the Birthday - Wet or Dry Embossing (I have used wet embossed flower and sentiment)

Beautiful card Kath and a great way of using the Card Candi. I seem to have accumulated lots in just about every colour! 🤣 xx

This bubble bloom looks very pretty with the added red and purple Card Candi Kath and lovely to see you've used brown ink which adds something different, as we all tend to just stamp in black all the time. x

Can remember when Candi was all the rage on cards. Have loads of packets of it still in my stash. Love this card using the enamel dots for the smaller circles. Hugs Mrs a.
