Been Awhile

Hope you all are having a great 2013 so far! Yep it's been awhile since I've posted on the ole blogeroni. I got out of making cards for awhile and life happened. Then the holidays hit and I got swept away. But I've been inspired again so it's back to crafting for me. I've made a bunch of new cards to enter into challenges. Here is my first one of 2013!

On this card I used a brand new set of clear stamps I got for Christmas. It's a set from Hobbycraft brand called Flourish Frames. I also used my brand new Spellbinder die to cut the scalloped circle. Everything is cut and printed on beige card. I used Bundled Sage Distress ink to stamp the swirls then stamped again in black.
