A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge #147 - 'Anything Goes'

A new challenge starts today over at A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Blog
where the theme is always 'Anything Goes' 

Sharing my design team card, using the 

 Happy Flowers and Wash It digi papers.

Details of the challenge can be found HERE
where 3/5 randomly drawn winners will each get to choose
3 sets of Lozzy's papers.

I started by printing one of the set of Wash It digi papers onto an A4 sheet
of white card and making a square card base.

Next I printed the co-ordinating Happy Flowers digi paper onto white card,

die-cut the aperture and embossed it with the textures embossing folder.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment, added the floral aperture card using
3D foam, and the pearlised gems.

The products I have used are:
Lozzy's Happy Flowers and Wash It digi papers
Inca wood mounted stamp - Dot Wishes
