Good morning everyone and welcome to the Clearly Inspired Challenge on Lori McCroskey's blog..... today the challenge is Spring Flowers!! Use Clear Dollar Stamps if you have them, if not, please play anyway....we would love to see your designs!!! A random winner will be chosen the following Thursday. Upload your cards to Mr. Linky on Lori's blog and if you upload to Splitcoast, use CIC13 in the keywords.
The dragonfly and sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamps Air Flair set were stamped onto the Wisteria dp with Rich Razzleberry and Creamy Caramel . The edges were distressed and then layered onto the Cotton Candy and Wild Huckleberry card stock. I also used the Wild Huckleberry for the card base...you should see this is real life....it's sooo shimmery and iridescent!!! I love to do vintage designs because I love to add layers and embellies...the more the better!!! One of the background layers is cardboard with the top torn off to expose the corrugated layer. Spring Violet Glimmer Mist was sprayed over the top to add additional shimmer. The lace, Pretty Porcelain Ribbon, button, twine, pearl flourish and flower bouquet finish it off. I even sewed around the background layer but I don't think you can see it.

Paper: Cotton Candy, Wild Huckleberry, Basic Grey's Wisteria

Well you have outdone yourself today with this fabulously marvelously, gorgeously beauteously YOWZA card!!! Woo-Hoo!! I hope this is going to someone who will REALLY appreciate all the work!!!
What a lovely card Joan. Unfortunately it's not eligible for Phindy's Friday Challenge as you need to use one of Phindy's images. There are lots of freebie images available on her PCP group if you don't have any yet.
Hope to see you playing along with a Phindy image soon.
Best wishes
