PanPastels and stamping for this flower card....




Used Pan Pastels and a Glitter Girl's board to create the background to this card. Parisian Motifs from Spellbinders gave me the corner pieces and centre shape. Used a store cupboard stamp to stamp and embellish the flowers and when dry cut them out and decoupaged on the card. Randomly stamped the greeting......
