Just Saying Hello

Hello Friends!!! I am back with a card to share with you which I made for A2Zscrapbooking blog, this is my last month as a DT  member for them... :(
Here is my card...

I have used Dauber Bunches stamp set for my card. Stamped the flowers using Black ink, then to fill in the flowers with color I simply flipped the single petal stamp and used the solid part of the stamp to color. You can use HA dauber’s as well to color the flowers.

Then on a strip of vellum I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink and black embossed it. It was then adhered by just applying glue to the part which goes inside the card. Finally embellished using some sequins.

And here is a close up...

Hope you liked my card.. There are so many new stuffs being added to the shop.. Do check those here and you can use discount code CHITRA15 at checkout which will end up offering you a 15% OFF on your purchase at the A2Z store.

Thanks for stopping by!!
