Sometimes less is more don't you think! That's the way I would describe this card . I have used just a few stamps from the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set and the Blossom Builder Punch.

Then they are simply punched out before gently curling with my fingers and adhering to the front of my card. I love this bright colour Pink. Its Melon Mambo and of course the cardstock is dyed to match it ... VIEW POST

I played with this paper for the first time properly today and I am in love with it. I can see it being used a lot in all sorts of projects. Its not flowery throughout. There are definitely a couple of designs that would be good for the chaps too. ( not that I think the flowers are just for ladies of ... VIEW POST
