Gorgeous

Ack!!!  It's March already and I just realized I totally forgot to schedule a post for the new Love To Scrap Challenge!!  Yikes!  Anyway, this month's challenge is: Anything Goes and our fabulous sponsor is DRS Designs:
And here is the card I created (luckily, I didn't forget to make it, just to post it!):
 Several years ago, I got this gorgeous Pussy Willow stamp and I love it!  I just always forget about it.  It's so beautiful and delicate, just like the actual plant.  I added some glue to each of the buds and topped it with some flocking powder.  It doesn't show up very well in the photos, but it gives a nice fluffy feel, just like the actual plant!  You can see it a little in the photo below.
Thanks for stopping by; I hope you will get a chance to play along with us this month!  I'm always so inspired by visiting your blogs and seeing what you create! OH!!  A little hint: this month we are celebrating our 6th birthday at the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog, so make sure you stop by there on Monday as there is going to be something fun going on!!

Beautiful card, Heather. I love the neutral colours and what a great idea to add some flocking powder to make the pussy willows fluffy. xx

Oh, how beautiful - love that image! Such soft and subtle colors you've used, too - lovely! Thanks so much for playing along with us at TSOT!

Very pretty! I think the soft grey and pink is a lovely combination to use with the pussy willow stamp. Flocking it was a great idea and I bet it looks fabulous in real life. Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge this week.
