General card


 Hello dear bloggers,


Here is my second post for today... 


This is a card I made a while ago to sell for Japanese Red Cross. 


Somehow and as always it looked better in real life.

Supplies:
Beige and mocha cardstock
Kaisercraft clear stamp in brown as background (went over it with my Darwent water colour pencil)
DP from Terry
Vase - from Carla craft on light green paper, distressed with crushed olive
Coffee beans - nicked from Starbucks (sush... don't tell anyone, lol)
Flowers and ribbon - from my stash


Hugs,


Monica

Was just thinking "are those coffee beans" This is so pretty and I bet it smelt lovely with the beans.
