April Showers

It's time for a fabulous new challenge at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge and this fortnight our theme is: Flowers & Flourishes chosen by Kelly.

For my card I've used a fabulous image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Triple CD Collection and papers from the Echo Park Sweet Day collection.



I layered my image and papers onto brown card stock and also cut my flourish from the same card stock with a spellbinders die, the flowers have been made with Punch Bunch punches and pearls added to the centre, the sentiment is a Clearly Besotted stamp.

We have three fabulous sponsors this week:
