A Bit of a Funk

I've been in a bit of a stamping funk this week. First, I didn't even want to stamp. Then yesterday, I sat down to stamp...and, oh my, was it scary! So I just walked away. I did manage to make this simple card this morning though. It follows the guidelines for today's Limited Supply Challenge at Splitcoast: to use just three of four layers and simple embellishments.

I'm so excited to have finally used my Jolies Fleurs stamps from Lizzie Anne Designs that I bought at least a month ago. I'll definitely have to give it some more attention. Here, the flower is stamped on Paper Accents Pearlized white using Versafine black ink, as are the swirls and sentiment (Papertrey Ink's Butterfly Kisses). I wish you could see the shimmer. It even shows through your coloring and stamping. LOVE IT! The flower is colored with Stampin' Up markers (rose red, so saffron, almost amethyst) and the "pink" is an aquapainter with rose red ink. That is all layered on Saffron prints paper (SU!) and highlighted with black layers and brads. The amethyst center is covered in Crystal Effects. I think I'll add some Star Dust Stickles to the petals too. It needs a bit more sparkle.

What's In It:

Stamps: Lizzie Anne Designs' Jolies Fleurs, Papertrey Ink's Butterfly Kisses

Paper: Paper Accents Pearlized white, SU! basic black and saffron prints

Ink: Versafine black, SU! rose red, almost amethyst, so saffron
