Hello crafty folks! How goes it? Hope you're all well. Today's post is a bit different for me ie a bit more traditional/less cutesy! My Mum asked me to make a card for my Auntie's birthday in September so I thought these Morning Glories from Papertrey Ink would be perfect!
I used Morning Glories stamp from the Year of Flowers which I coloured with watercolour pencils and outlined with a warm copic. I cut out using the Button card die from PTI. The front panel is stamped and cut using the Garden Variety stamp set and die. The mini fork, trowel and sentiment are all from the same set and I used the matching die for these. The background paper is Basic Grey.

Close up of the Morning Glories. Surprisingly these took a while to colour even though it's a small image. Sometimes I wonder if I put too much detail into my colouring when the image is small and wonder whether the recipient would notice it!!
Just wanted to show you this cute little stamp my sis bought me whilst on her travels with work. It's from Docrafts. I thought it'd be so cute for stamping on the back of Christmas card envelopes, kinda like a seal! What dya think?!
