Secret Crafter and Penny Black Saturday Challenges



I made this card following the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge sketch. On the Penny Black Saturday Challenge the theme is 'Get Well Soon'.
The paper is BG London sunset, the stamp is PB mouse bouquet :-) The text stamp is by hero arts.
My new spellbinder corners arrived today so I just had to use them on this sketch :-)
I sprayed brown cardstock with green and peach glimmer mists, I used this to cut the diagonal strip, the largest nestie square and the corners, I don't know if it shows up in the photo's but they are really shimmery and gorgeous :-) The bronze flower is papermania and I think it finishes the card quite nicely :-)
I sort of decorated the inside too, this is a 1st for me . I usually just stick a plain insert with 'happy birthday 'or whatever stamped on it !!
Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments
Am off to bed, will link this tomorrow, my typing's gorn haywire and this has taken ages to type, am exhausted, it's midnight here !!
goodnight all x x

p.s I was going to enter this in the Basic Grey Challenge but I hadn't read the rules properly and it can't be linked with another challenge so off to do another one :-)
