Textured Just a Note Card

Hello friends - I hope you are having a great weekend - mine is quickly coming to an end, but before it does I am sharing another of the 10 quick cards I created during the week.

The 'flocked' patterned paper is none other than wallpaper.  One of my neighbours creates Victorian Dolls Houses and uses the tiny stripes on this wallpaper - and sometime ago knocked on our door a whole ago asking me if I would like the 'leftovers'!  How gorgeous is it!!

  I have done very little to it, apart from inking the flocked pattern on the left using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Spanish Moss, using a

IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Dauber™

The large flower has had some IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink in Angel Pink and Rose Bud added to the edges to add more depth to the already pink petals.  The sentiment is from SRM Stickers and has been popped up on
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® foam dots.

This card is for the following challenges: 

2 Sisters - Recycle  

Our Creative Corner - Forgotten Things

 So Artful Challenge - Single flower with minimalist design 

365 Cards - In The Garden 

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards - Anything Goes 

Jellypark Challenges - The Sentiment Is The Key 

Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes

 Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes
