Flower Power

 This card uses an image from the Chameleon colour card pack. I then simply cut the image in to strips  and mounted it onto a piece of card. I then used an embossing folder on a similar bit of card. I used a white snippet across behind the image.  Then finished with a sentiment. Quite a quick and simple card but I quite like it.

This is another card that uses a Whismy Stamp digi image. Again this little chap is coloured in using my Chameleon pens.  He was then matted onto three bits of scrap paper.
