Inspirational Card Sketches



I've just found the Inspirational Card Sketches challenge last week and when I saw the great sketch I knew I could make a birthday card for my Mother using it.
This time I've used beautiful button paper which I bought in Craftworld in Belfast a long time ago and used my Martha Stewart doily border punch along the edges (again!)
The image is "Morning Glory" from my A Passion for Stamps range which you can find in the sidebar and I've decoupaged one petal and added a little glitter.
I've also used my fav Woodware punches (leaf and butterfly) and an Xcut flower punch.
The sentiment is computer generated and the ribbon and buttons are from my stash

    This is such a pretty, elegant card Ruth and I love the way you've decoupaged just one petal! I have that paper too but can't seem to get past the stroking stage, lol!
    Have a lovely evening ;o)
