Happy Hump Day! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I like to show you my version of another Belles 'n Whistles cutie ...Sunshine and Apples! This stamp is so versatile and can be used for many occasions like birthdays, thank you's or just because! And this is the reason why I didn't add a sentiment because I made this card as a "just because" card. I used my new Spellbinders pendant Fleur di Lis to pop up the image and a cuttlebug border embossing folder to emboss the flowers. I embossed on Core'dinations Color Core Cardstock Chocolate Box and than slightly sanded the embossed flowers to reveal the green core of the cardstock. On the inside I also used the Fleur di Lis pendant. On the back of my card you can see my brand new stamp "Handmade by Iris". This was a Birthday gift from my lovely friend and DT member Peta ! Thanks again so much Peta, I love that stamp :-)))))))) This is also my entry for Caardvarks DRS Designs Sketch Challenge . They ha
