Quixotic Paperie GDT card

Hello!

I'm so happy to say that I've been chosen to be a Guest Designer for the Quixotic Paperie!!
Today I would like to show you my first GD card.



For my card I used two of the new Whimsy Stamps designed by Crissy Armstrong, of course available at Quixotic Paperie, the stamps are: Valerie's Spring Rain and Fancy Bench. It's been awhile since I tried masking, but I'm happy with the result, I didn't have to do it more than once. :) Then I also used two Whimsy Stamps sentiments from the Love Letter Seals set designed by Ann Vento. I also used Whimsy Ticket Die and made the sentiments into tags. The paper is "Prima" from the gorgeous Annalee Pad; the roses are craft flowers - Mini Open Rose - Burgundy and I also added one 5mm Heart Shape Flat Backed Pearl - Red. Just follow the links to see more information of all these products at Quixotic Paperie. I also added a lace and ribbon from stash.



I coloured the image with watercolour pencils.



These are the Whimsy sentiments I used.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you...

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'm not doing so well...I have an awful cold since Friday, I've had high temperature, headache, have sore throat... Just what I needed right now... Anyway, I somehow managed to make a card, using one of the wonderful new Whimsy Stamps.



I love this sentiment and I had to use it alone as a center of the card. It's from the Darling Daisies set by Crissy Armstrong. The paper is K&Co - Clasic K McKenna and I used one of the accessory elements from a MME paper kit. I disressed the edges, as usual, with distress ink pad-"Vintage Photo" and added some flowers and a ribbon from stash.



Check out the sentiment, isn't it beautiful!?
