Ah-choo!

Now, I love lilacs, but my allergies sure do not!

Inspired this week by #176 - Love the Way You Lilac

 I used an old unmarked wood-mounted stamp that I picked up some years ago at a used stamp sale.

To keep the design clean and simple I added an embossed white background, a colored mat and a tiny black heat-embossed sentiment by Flora and Fauna.

Thanks for the visit,

Hi, Bloggin' Buddies!

I have followed a carmaker's blog http://icardeveryone.blogspot.com for a couple of years. I think this gal has such great command of design and color - I just adore almost every card she posts. I often comment on her blog and she has continually encouraged me to share what I make. Thanks, Michelle!

This is for the Waffle Flower Link party: May 2012 Week 3 challenge which is "Travel Around the World". I love the stamp sets by Kamo and I have several. For this I used a piece of handmade paper I've been hoarding for years, the Waffle Flower Ni Hao set, Copic markers and gold embossing powder. 

I used some gold cardstock and decorated the matching envelope with some red washi tape. This was worth dusting off my blog to share.

Thanks for the visit,
