- Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books.

613 Avenue Create - July Challenge - Anything Goes with Optional Twist/Floral Delight/Just Add a Flower
Time for another challenge over at 613 Avenue Create this month. The theme of the challenge is Anything Goes with an optional twist of / Floral Delight/Just add a Flower.
I chose this digital image from my stash for this card.
The image is from a digi company called Arty Pants. I have had the image in my collection since 2013 along with many others of their digi stamps. I do not think the company is still around. I have not been able to find any current information about them.
To colour my image I used my copic markers, pencil crayons, nuvo, and gel pens. I added a sentiment and some gems to give the antique flower scene some sparkle.
Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.
