Welcome back to a whole new year full of challenges at STB.
Cathy is our host for our first challenge of the year, and she would like us to Use something New. I would venture to say that just about everyone has something new to share after Christmas.
I treated myself to this Gina K. kit, You are So Loved. This stamp set and stencil in the kit is Delicate Dahlias which I stenciled with Gina's Carnation Inks. Used her ML. #2 & 1 for the Oval. This is also foiled with Poly Glaze and the shine is stunning. Hard to see in picture.
Please come and look at all of the inspiration by the DT's and join in the fun.
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just

ReplyDeletePretty card, Linda! The flowers look lovely grouped around the oval frame, and I can just see a bit of the foiling. I bet it looks fabulous irl.
