GDT Post for Stämpelkällan

Good morning all!  Doesn't time fly.....it's already time for my second GDT submission, and the stamp I'm using is actually available to all of you as a free digi for the month of January, in the side bar on the Stämpelkällan blog!  This was actually my first introduction to their wonderful stamps, when I won it for leaving a comment on their Friday posting.  I think it could be used for so many occasions, but today I've made a birthday card.


I really enjoy making this card design with it's fancy folds, and I've even managed to add some dimensional flowers....something I'm not all that comfortable with.  I do think they've worked well here, especially with this new pretty striped floral paper from Echo Park.  The image worked up easily with copics, and after cutting it out with my Nestie die I've given the edge some stickles.  The sentiment is also from Stämpelkällan and can be found here, along with a number of other versatile text stamps.

I'd also like to mention that there's a GDT call going on at the moment for the period of March through May.  If you would like the chance to work with some of their delightful stamps be sure to check it out here.
