Just Add Ink challenge - Just Add Crowns!

 This year, I want to challenge myself to do more and learn more stamping, and with that in mind, this is the first time I am ever going to enter into a blog challenge - this one for Just Add Ink - Just Add Crowns

This card I have been wanting to do for a while - it has been inspired by some drink coasters given to me by a dear friends - because she knew I loved vintage stamping, and had quite a few of the images featured on these lovely coasters!!


I have done some watercolouring,


and used glitter,

and done some background stamping.  I have added some extra bling with some rhinestones, and a bit of texture with the ribbon and brad.  

I'm thinking about giving this card to someone that I need to say thankyou to!!  It says:  so many smiles..... begin with you (on the inside!!)
