Fuchsia Note Card

I made this note card with another charity shop find - this is a brand new Two Jays stamp that I came across a while ago but this is the first time I've used it.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     Two Jays Stamp Co 'Fuchsia' stamp
     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' and 'Hello Border' dies
     Memento Tuxedo Black ink
     Green, lilac and yellow Promarkers
     Snippets of purple textured card and light green paper

I used black ink to stamp the image onto a snippet of light green paper and cut it with the largest stitched square.  I used the green Promarker to colour the leaves, the lilac to colour the flowers and the yellow for the flower centres.  I layered the panel onto purple textured card before attaching it to the centre of the card blank.  I die cut 'hello' from purple textured card and attached it across the bottom of the card - trimming the edge of the border to fit inside the purple matt layer.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Daisy Chain Challenge - Flowers
     Krafty Chicks Challenge - Stamps
     NBUS - Challenge 59 (my new stamp)
     Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes
     Try It On Tuesday - Hearts and/or Flowers (I chose the flowers option)
     We Love Stamping - Anything Goes

This was a great find in a charity shop Kath, and love the way you have coloured it and used a piece of pale green paper, and it has a pretty vintage look to it and looks great backed with the purple card and added to the kraft card base. x
