the lushest flower stamp ever...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well and happy...we got everything my Dad needed for his holiday thank goodness, honestly he is worse than three teenagers to take shopping lol...he needed a new pair of sunglasses as he sat on his Polo glasses and snapped the arm in half...so off we trot to loads of shops, lots of trying on and there were loads of them I thought were lush but after a while my Dad decides to tell me he really wants some of those sunglasses you can clip on top of your own glasses...well he could have told me before the first shop couldn't he, I cant get angry with him though hes to funny lol...so back to the drawing board today...right now onto my card for today which is using this stunning flower stamp from the Kaisercraft Clear Stamps - Magnolia Grove, isn't it stunning...I stamped it three times on card then four times on papers, I coloured the leaves and then cut out and mounted the flowers making the peach coloured one 3d...I love these Kaisercraft stamp sets they are just beautiful...the papers I used for the backing and the paper pieced flowers are from the My Minds Eye Miss Caroline-Howdy Doody 6x6 paper pad (I think its out of stock atm though)...the stamp and pad are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished with some pearls and a lush seam binding bow

the lush sketch is from the Stamp with Fun Challenge and I'm also entering it for House of Gilli challenge and the Secret Crafter Saturday challenge too...right I'm off out for the sunglasses trek again so keep your fingers crossed for us that my lovely Dad doesn't change his mind again...gotta love him to bits haven't you lol...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one
