As this is only a little card I didn’t want to overdo the background. I began by stamping the main card using a flourish and Juniper ink. On a separate white panel I sponged this ink and randomly stamped using a flourish and the Juniper inkpad; trimmed it to size and stuck it to the left of the main card. Next I used Pearlescent Ivy and a smaller flourish down the left side of the card and the fine flourish down the right side. Lastly I used the dotty swirl (from Funky Frames) and Graphite Black ink to stamp around the edge of the card.
