Floral Frenzy...

The challenge this week over at My Time to Craft is themed 'Floral Frenzy' so it seemed a good opportunity to show this card I made for a forum friend.

Yes, it's that enormous flower from Elusive Images that I used on the ATCs I showed yesterday. This time I stamped the flower twice and decoupaged it to give depth. The leaf is a stamp from the same set.

It doesn't show very much in the photo but the background is actually a swirly leaf design on tinted acetate. It's really unusual and lush to use. I believe it's by Kanban, but I got it at my favourite market stall.

Thanks for looking and also for leaving such fantastic comments. I really appreciate them. Have a great weekend everyone and see you Monday for the new Pink Elephant challenge.

That flower really makes a statement and you manage to use it so effectively.
The result is a card that really catches the eye but isn't overpowering.

What market stall was that then????Or should I say Wath market stall was that? I've not seen tinted acetate. This is another lovely cards Ann. The more I see those stamps used the more I think I really need them.

Oh Ann. I so love the boldness of your design, makes a definate statement. Totally goregous. Would love to know more about the stamp(s) you used. I am hopefully off to Stamparama next Sunday, will add to my list of 'must seek out these stamps'
