…and used up in order to exist at all


Sharing a simple thank you card featuring a partial stamping of a Penny Black stamp called Blossom Branch.


I did the partial stamping so I could play along at AAA Cards where they are looking for you to only decorate one corner.  There’s an optional twist of a colour palette, which I’ve also played along with.  I used several mats in three of the colours from the palette in the same bright shades as the jelly babies in the inspiration photo.  I toned it down a bit for my stamping as I used distress colours so the green in particular is more subdued.

At the Alphabet Challenge they want you to have only one-word sentiments so I’ve gone with a simple ‘thanks’; a fab chippie from Make it Crafty.  As my stamp features some pretty flowers and my card is CAS, I’m also entering it over in the current challenge at The Flower Challenge.
