New Blog Challenge

My godfathers! I swear these posts are getting later and later!! But YAY!  I’ve found a new blog challenge to join in with!  Unfortunately I didn’t find it until about an hour ago….but it helped me challenge my creativity in to this card.
I’ve spent all night trying out my new stamps and inks *girly hand clap*. It’s been absolute bliss, although I didn’t actually make anything until I found the new challenge to enter.  I’ve made this card for the sketch challenge over on Clean and Simple Stamping.  There’s some lovely entries already so it’s worth taking a look .
I’ve made my card using (what is proving to be) my favourite flower stamp from the Simply Said stamp set.  It’s just so versatile and easy to use.  I’ve stamped it in Old Olive, Real Red and Baja Breeze and matted it to make an A5 card(to give it lots of white space).
My new Colour Coach (or Color Coach) from Stampin’ Up! told me that these colours worked together…and I don’t think it’s wrong!  I’ve embellished with a crystal in each of the flowers and finished it of with a ‘happy birthday’ sentiment.
I’m just loving CAS!!!
Let me know what you think.
