I love these papers!!!

There is a beautiful sketch to follow over on the Basic Grey challenges blog so I grabbed my Cappella paper pad and set to work. I've teamed the papers with a gorgeous sentiment stamp by Paper Makeup Stamps which arrived for me from the States today. I've made my own flowers by punching two flowers and sticking them one on top of another, added a brad and then scrunched them up. I really like how they look. The card is quite plain from embellishment because I want the papers to shine through rather than be covered up. This card is for Thomas' preschool key worker lady, I think she will appreciate the sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
MSE Choccy's Challenge - Make Your Own Flowers
Sir Stampalot - June Challenge, Punch It (I used a scallop circle punch and a flower punch)
Crafty Cardmakers - Challenge 22, Least & Most (most is the peachy pink colour and least is the grey paper at the back)

Supplies:
Papers - Cappella by Basic Grey from Quixotic Paperie
Sentiment - Paper Make Up Stamps
Pearls - Opaline by Basic Grey
Brads - from stash
Tools - Woodware scallop circle punch, Hobbycraft flower punch, scissors for distressing
