FANCY FLOWERS FROM IBS

Hello again! This is my second post for today, so please scroll down to see the first one!

Whew! Now that I finished that CAS card, I get to have fun with layers, flowers and lace!! And here it is:

That gorgeous flower is from Inspired by Stamping’s Fancy Flowers set and colored with Copics.  The sketch is Operation Write Home’s sketch for this week and lent itself to lovely layers and lace, so I took advantage of that. My MS doily border punch added to the vintage feel, along with the distressed edges. Some Spellbinders and a ZVA Creative flourish finish this card.

Now for the challenges:

IBSIC #21 is an Inspiration Challenge. Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo:

I also made this card for:
Mynnette’s Spread the L-O-V-E challenge: It is being included in a Military Care Package that I am sending to a U.S. soldier who is deployed.
