Distressed Wood grain with flowers


Hi, I was inspired to make this card by the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More
 where they have this gorgeous pic for inspiration. I layered one of the vellum flowers onto white card so that it stood out like the dress.

It closes in 6 hours so I'm cutting it fine!

I used snippets of vellum to die cut my leaves so I'm visiting the playground at

I'm also linking up to the anything goes challenge at

Materials used:
Darkroom Door woodgrain stamp, versafine ink and clear ep; distress inks; Stampin Up Flower Shop stamp; vellum; white ink and white ep; Elizabeth Craft Designs leaf die; bling and sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

    You've been busy since I was last here! I love your feathery tag in green and your fern card as well. Today's card with the vellum flowers is beautiful. Your wood grain background looks like real wood. Great cards.

    I love this card. I have seen the vellum flowers before, but these look especially pretty with the wood background. Great job.

    Yup, I was right again! I don't know why these judges don't just call me on the phone instead of following me all over Blogland and seeing which cards I declare are the winners, ha ha!! Congratulations and well-deserved, Cathy!! Hugs, Darnell
