Good Afternoon , its been trying to snow today but not for long, thank goodness.
On my card today I used a free whimsy stamp that came with a magazine. 
I cut the white hammered card with a Just Cutz die, the card was lined on the inside and outside with paper used from a Crate Paper Farmhouse 6 x 6 pad which I bought from TK Max for £2.99.
I stamped and coloured the image with promarkers  and distress ink.
The flowers, ribbon and pearls etc are from my stash
