Hi everyone, a card today for Friday Sketchers and a lovely sketch to follow by Emily. I've used my cute Alota Rubber Stamps bug in present which is watercoloured with Distress Inks and then cut out. The papers are from the WRMK Nonense pad and are glittered, beautifully sparkly and such rich colours and bold patterns, so this is probably the busiest looking card I've ever made, not too sure about it on the whole! All the paper edges have been distressed and I've added lots of buttons over the ribbon, a little cut out frame which came with the paper pack as the tag element of the sketch and a sentiment by Woodware. TFL, Chris x

This is gorgeous! I love the bold colours and all the elements "crowded" on the card. :) I should use buttons more often, they make lovely embellishments. [well...if you know where to add them - lol]
The stamp is sooo adorable and your colouring is again perfect. The little scalloped frame is a gem and a great finishing touch.
