It's week two for our wonderful CR84FN49 colours - kraft, yellow and grey (silver) and I've a birthday card to share with you this week. It's a really clean and simple design and I've used the layout from last week's Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge - WMSC86 - didn't get to submit it to the challenge, but I really liked the layout.I did think of using ribbons on my card, but decided instead to stamp this lovely Celtic scroll onto the card. I stamped the image in grey and then over stamped again in yellow. I used kraft card to make the lovely lotus pendant and stamped the medium sized rose three times onto white card. I used Promarkers and distress ink to colour the rose. I did consider adding a touch of green for the leaves, but found this soft silver grey card in my stash and used that instead. I finished off the card with a simple sentiment and some accent corners. This card is for Betty, one of my Craft Club friends.

This is such an original interpretation of the sketch & I love that Celtic Scroll & how you stamped it. The colour combination is totally intriguing too. Take care midst all the bustle.
