I have a card today for two challenges which are new to me. I had heard of One layer Wednesday challenge a while back, but had not gotten around to making a card in time for it! This week, OLW is asking for a card using an image, a border stamp and some bling.
And over on Splitcoast Stampers, Julia Aston is hosting the Colour Challenge over the next few months. Julia has chosen some soothing neutral shades in Whisper White, River Rock and Basic Grey.
I am also entering this card into The Stamp Man challenge, which wants Oriental, and as I have used Asian Gardens stamp set, it fits!
I am in a bit of a 'soothing' mood, so here is my interpretation - I have had to use slightly different colours as I don't currently own any Stampin Up cardstock or inks.
I have used a white linen card base, and stamped the border stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps Asian Garden in Memento London Fog.
From the same stamp set, I have stamped the bare branch image in Khaki Green by Ink it Up!, and stamped some flowers in London Fog and Khaki Green.
The sentiment is also from the same set, stamped in Walnut Stain distress ink. Finally added some gems to the centre of the flowers.
I really enjoyed making this card, it simply fell together, and the colours do make for a soothing card.
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx

Thank you for commenting on my blog. I do appreciate it. Besides stamping we have our name in common and I was born in England and grew up in Scotland. I really liked your card. Loved that border stamp. Hope to see more of your postings.
