It's a doodle!

I made this card to accompany my ATC. Rainmac was a brilliant swap partner and very understanding of the fact that I didn't post my ATC off to her when I said I would. I sent this little thank you card to go with the ATC.



The flower was created by stamping a sun image several times onto an old book. The image was then cut out and coloured with distress inks. It's then been stacked up and micro beads have been poured into the centre and covered with Glossy Accents. The word stem has been doodled. I'm quite pleased with the doodling, and will definitely be using this on future projects.

Tools:
Tim Holtz Blender Tool
Sunshine Stamp - Freebie with a magazine
Tim Holtz Distressing Tool

Materials:
Cream Card - from stash
Green Sparkle Card - The Papermill
Old book - charity shop
Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Scattered Straw, Forest Moss, Tea Dye
Glossy Accents
Glass Micro Beads - from stash
Letraset Fine Liner

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crazy 4 Challenges - Paper Flowers
Cute Card Thursday - Reuse, Renew, Recycle
The ABC Challenge - Xtra Dimension
