Flowers......

Hi Everyone!!
Today I'm posting a card I made at the beginning of May I think but never got around to posting it... When I first made it I was not happy with the colors... but the more I looked at it I grow to love it... So I finished it off a though I would share with you.
I can't remember for the life of me where I got this stamp but for some reason I think it was one I bough from someone that had used it and wanted to sell some off.... 
Anyway I LOVE the large size of it and how it fills the front of the card... the only bad part if you want to call it a bad part is all the coloring it takes, so I don't think I'll be making any sets with this beautiful stamp....  
I first did my coloring and then used the "Grace's Frame" embossing folder, then I just colored between the lines the folder made..... I love this look and got the idea from a VERY talented gal that I just love to visit Leslie blog.  She has changed her life recently but still dose some card and I so enjoy my visits to her blog.
I did not show the inside but I used white and embossed it with the same frame and left it blank so I could use it for anything....

Dotty, I'm so glad to see you posting again. A lot of the girls are stepping back and making changes in their lives. Sometimes we just get burned out and need a break. Lovely card and I love the way you colored in the embossing folder.

This is such a beautiful card and I really love that idea of embossing and then colouring over - very clever, must remember that one! Crafty hugs, Anne x

Very effective. I love that idea of embossing and then colouring over!

It's large and colorful and beautiful! I'm drawn to large stamps like this, but, yes, it's a lot of coloring. Funny how I stopped by today on a whim and found you stamping again, but also found your sweet mention of me and my blog. Thank you, Dotty!

this is beautiful and the colouring is fab. I like the contrast colour of the ribbon against the flower-looks classic
