Update: I always said Hero Arts should make the codes bigger on their stamps as I have probs reading them........somebody has very kindly pointed out to me that I got it a bit wrong for the above stamp, so I have amended it below and it is K5353.
There's a new challenge at Rosie D's which our teamie Lyn is hosting and has given us the theme of England/St George or just Red and White.
This card is also my entry for this weeks Cupcake challenge which has the theme Red and White.
I confess that the patriotic side of it stumped me a bit and I have gone down the easy route of red and white. I had a new Hero stamp yet to be inked up and as it is a nice shadow stamp thought it would work well with red and some bleaching.
The stamp is Hero Arts K5345 In the Garden which I stamped with versamark and embossed with detail clear onto some red matt cardstock. It's always difficult to be sure how well bleach will take and on this occasion I ended up with a brownish colour, so when it was dry and coloured the beached areas with a white Prismacolor pencil which lightened it enough for what I wanted.
I mounted the piece onto white cardstock and embossed a piece of red Bazzil using the script Cuttlebug folder. The wavy edges is EK Success Dotted Wave punch and some ribbon and pearls added to embellish. A fairly quick and easy card.

Crikey Brenda. I'm making excuses because I've been away two weekends on the trot and had visitors in between so have't made anything. You on the other hand, have all this stuff going on in your life and your create ............. loads of stunningly beautiful cards.
Every single one since my last comment is beautiful and I love the butterfly collage type stamp you've rediscovered.
Wonderful to read that Anysia is home and I hope her recovery continues apace and your's too.
Take care.

Great card Brenda, really like this colour combo, it works really well, love the background, looks really special.
Lovely colour combination and the image is just adorable Brenda. Know what you mean about countrymen lol. The three tennors I think. They are priests and two of them are brothers and they are called o'Hagan but no relation. They do sing like angels though.
