Sigh… I have such a weakness for patterned paper that looks like wallpaper.  I just love the simplicity and elegance of it.

So if you’re wondering what I’ve been up to today – not much, LOL, I’ve just been playing with my new Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini products.  Here’s a card I just finished this minute.  What I love about this flower stamp is the endless ideas that popped into my head as soon as I saw it.  The biggest problem was what to try first… watercolouring with crayons, paper tole, stamp multiple flowers, one flower?  What I settled on is to stamp the flower three times onto patterned paper using Versamark, gold emboss and cut them out.  I then layered the three flowers on top of each othr so that it looks a bit three dimentional.  A very simple card but I’m very pleased with it.

So here’s a list of products I’ve used: (all products available for purchase through me at angelasargeant@gmail.com)

Chocolate Chip textured cardstock
