Weekly Blog Project - Dinky Camellia Book Card

Hello, Heidi here to share another Friday Blog Project with you.

 

I have made a small book card, using one of the new 'Dinky' stamps 'Camellia'.  This cute little stamp is great for decoupaging and edging, as I have shown on my little card.

 

 

Here is the front of the little book.  It measures : 8cms x 8cms.  It is great to make using lots of spare scrap white card and some left-over dotty white ribbon.

 

 

I have cut out three of the flowers, these form the central element. I have coloured them in with Promarker's and then stuck them on top of each other using sticky pads.  Lastly, adding glossy accents.

 

Here are the products used :
