Another card using the fabulous stamp set given to me by Unity Stamps. I love this patterned square from the 'Folk Inspired' set. I've stamped it using Adirondack cranberry ink and then used the same colour of ink to paint the design. I've added some black pearls for interest.The quote is a brilliant clear stamp by Clarity Stamps . I am totally obcessed with their designs at the moment and was lucky enough to see Barbara Gray, the creator of these stamps, at the Stamp Magic show in Doncaster last Sunday. She is so talented and I am so broke after visiting her stand!!!
The corner peel offs are some really useful ones I found on the Joanna Sheen website recently at a bargain price of around 50p. I especially like them as they are much smaller than the normal corners you find and just so useful. These were silver to begin with and I coloured them black with a permenant marker and added black pearls for oomp!
Naturally my card is for one or two challenges...
- Paper Blooms - 'something that inspires you'. I always find quotes like the one on this card very uplifting.
- ABC - Two tone (and base colour is allowed) - my colours are black and cranberry
- Stamp Something - black and white + one other colour.
Don't forget my Post Pals blog candy and Simon Says Stamp are also supporting Post Pals this week.

Absolutely gorgeous Ann. I love the colours you have chosen. The quote is very similar to one I have on a cross stitch I did of a dream catcher
