Hiya!
It's time for another challenge at Dream Valley and this time we want to see Flowers! A nice easy one for you....
Most flowery cards are usually bright and colourful but I wanted to do something a little more subtle so I've used mainly black and white (papers are Papermania Capsule Collection) with just a splash of colour:
The image is the first outing of a Whispers stamp I've had for ages and just not got round to using yet. I'm really trying to be good and use all those stamps I've had hidden away for a while :-) I've added a punched butterfly (Xcut) with a little bit of sparkle....
.....and a flower I made using scalloped circle nesties. I used larger circles in lighter coloured papers for the outer petals, and smaller, darker circles for the inner petals. I damped them slightly and then scrunched them up. I secured the layers together with a brad:
The ribbon and black pearls are from my stash.
Challenge:

That's about it! I hope you have a fab weekend - please pop over to Dream Valley to see what the rest of the DT have made. They really are a talented bunch :-)
If you're following my adventures in my allotment, I'm just about to add the latest installment so you can pop over and have a nosey here - I've got green stuff! :-)
Love 'n' hugs,
