Just Saying Hello!

Hiya
Well i've wanted to try one of these shaped easel cards for ages since seeing all of Debbie's amazing ones, and then yesterday I was looking at a gorgeous one that Sally had made, so I went and gave it a go!
I used my nesties, paper cellar papers, distress inks-walnut stain and antique linen, prima swirl stamp, flowers made like in my tut (from plain printer paper inked with tattered rose and antique linen), computer generated sentiment, and everything else from stash.
I'm entering it in these challenges:




Pile It On - Easel Card

Stamp Something - Pink Somethings

Crafty Cardmakers - A Challenging Challenge

Cupcake Craft - Make your own flowers
Simon Says Stamp - Its so Distressing
Pollycraft - Anything Goes

For Fun Challenges - Anything Goes

One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes

Just Add Ink - Just Add Ink

Creative Inspirations - NO Image/Sentiment Only

Thanks for looking
