Last minute card for Imagine That!

Evening all,

Just waiting for tea to finish cooking, so quickly putting this card up I made today. Hope you like it. It is for the challenge at Imagine That!





I have used my flower card template on  this card to create an opening flower that reveals the image. Hope you like it.

I am also entering this card in a challenge at CDAC that finishes today. I have chosen to enter it in the Seasonal Fun Challenge, although it would have fitted in 2 others there as well.

Thanks for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. I'm planning to put some of the papers from the new paper pack I created and used for this card only  today, up as a freebie on my digistamp blog in the near future. They are part of the 'Wedding 2013' pack.

Love,

Jo.

Have you heard of StampOut?

As you may be aware, a lot of great digital and other stamp artist are currently finding their images shared on Pinterest and other media. This is generally done without the artist's knowledge and/or permission and is therefore theft.

Please go over to Mo's Digital Pencil and have a look at this post:

Letter to The Craft Club (and to all others "sharing" images on Pinterest and elsewhere)


and leave some words of support there. It is about time that we all root together to stop this and try to get our images the correct way.

Another good place to find some more information about this is:

Let everyone know you support artists right to earn a living

which can also be found on facebook: StampOut on Facebook. Support the good cause!

Love,

Jo.
