Friday Sketchers #93

Here is my card for this week's Friday sketcher's. This week I decided to buy 3 digi stamps. They are from Spesch Designer Stamps, I couldn't resist this one as my gorgeous Hubby is taking me to see Alice in Wonderland tonight, I also bought The Mad Hatter and Alice to go with the collection. It is the first time I have used a digi image and I was worried that when using distress inks the printer ink would run. But I was being very careful not to put to much water on the lines, and all turned out well I was very happy with the result.
I also managed to use all papers in my stash.

So here is my card!

Here is the view of all the lovely Flowers I used these were all from my local craft shop run by My lovely friend Tracey at Running With Scissors. (RWS)

And another view

Finally the sketch I used for this creation.


Supplies used:
Image - Spesch Desighner Stamps
Papers - all Bo Bunny and Bazil dots (RWS)
Ribbon and Roses - (RWS)
Punches - Retro Flower Large and Leaf punch Large (RWS)
I hope you like it, Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and comment.
