Clarissa Bubble Bloom

I have several 'Bubble Bloom' stamps, but this is my favourite - I've had it for years but still enjoy using it.  This card is for a friend's spring birthday using pastel colours which are her favourite.

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
     Promarkers
     Wink of Stella
     Glossy Accents
     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.  I coloured the flower blooms with Promarkers, added a Wink of Stella and then Glossy Accents.

I am entering the following challenges:
     ABC Birthday Challenge - Favourite Image
     CAS on Friday - Birthday
     Seize the Birthday - Focal One
     Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes
     We Love Stamping - Anything Goes

This is very pretty Kath with the bubbles in all those pastel colours and the mat in that lovely soft green, and the brown ink works beautifully on the stamped flower and sentiment. x
