Peonies and Daisies

Another workshop this week and two lovely cards made with this clear stamp set. (24455)

 We have stamped the flowers and heat embossed with clear embossing powder on black card for the background.The flowers have been stamped,coloured and die-cut to create a topper.The ribbon has been stamped using Distress Ink-Rusty Hinge so the colours co-ordinate.

 This card is ideal to use up all those strips of card /paper we have left over when we are making cards.Those strips make great flags.
