Ok will stop Mooning and tell you all a little bit about how I made my Card,I took a White Fabriano Base for it the dimension's are a little bigger than the usual card size,Then I placed a Green Cardstock(Itsy Bitsy) on the White Base and Stamped it all over with a border stamp which I have inked with Memento Bamboo Leaves,Then I again cut a rectangle White Cardstock and did some Faux Stiching using a Gel Pen,And Added the Yellow Flower made with Punch Bunch Punches(Pear shape) and added some Punched Leaves again from Punch Bunch,then added some Hobby Ideas glitter to it and also punched Small Mauve Flower's and added the Glitter centre to it. Then I stamped the sentiment on a Diecut and stamped it using clear stamp from The Paper Company after inking it with Memento  Cocoa Brown,The Ribbon is from my Stash.And the Dragon Fly is from Itsy Bitsy on which I used glitter glue from Hobby idea's, The Green Glitter Borders are from Itsy Bitsy (Priya's candy) .That's about all from me.

A Card And Some Good News.......................

Hi Friends,
Today I am posting an CAS card done with stamping ,I seem to be enjoying this simple card phase and I think next to quilling this is definitely my current favorite style,so here's a look at my Card first:

I have fussy cut the birds and placed them on double sided dimension tape and colored it using Faber Castell color pencil( the regular ones).The sentiment is stamped using The PAPER COMPANY stamps.And the heart brads are from JO -ANN'S.
                                And now for the good new's part I won the Crafty JC  Challenge 9 for my Recycling  project here.  Wohooo so happy about it:)
