Hi! I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed with all the Christmas stuff, not just the (self-imposed) pressure of making so many Christmas cards (yeah, I know, I should start in June! But I never do...), but all of it! It's been a bit of a struggle to pick myself up and get used to going back to work. But I finally got round to making a card, the first this year :)
This was inspired by the Flourish challenge over at Less Is More, this week's Muse challenge, and the One-Layer Simplicity challenge The Sky's The Limit. I masked a panel, stamped the flower image, and used ink dusters to create the background. I added small gems to the flowers.
I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Less is More: "One Layer - Flourish"
Muse - inspired by the curly flowers and the panel section
One-Layer Simplicity: "The Sky's The Limit" - the flower is reaching for the sky :)
Sweet Stampin': "Flowers"
Pink Gem Challenge: "Female Birthday"

This is such a beautiful card! Happy New year!
Gorgeous card. Love your background.
Beautiful sponged background! Love the softness! So glad you joined Muse this week! (and as for Christmas cards, don't forget that Muse: ChristmasVisions will be starting up in March - one Christmas card a week should take care of that last minute panic! lol!)
Love this simple yet stunning card, love masking off and doing this on the background. Thank you for joining in this week at Sweet Stampin'. Debbie X
