FREE FOR ALL CHALLENGE #14



This is my card for today's Free For All Challenge #14 INSPIRED BY A COLLECTION

I collect Russian Nesting Dolls. I received my first one when I was 11 and I was hooked. I just love them.

I used the new release DESIGNER MAIL from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS

I made my own template then cut pieces from the colors I needed and rounded their bottoms using my colluzzle templates. I stamped the flower design using two stamps from the above set. It worked beautifully. The sentiment at the bottom is also from the same set. The finishing touch that pulled it all together was sponging with distress ink.
