The added challenge this week is Altered Flowers! Use any flower you have (bought, punched etc) and change it in some way, maybe paint it, distress it, it's up to you! If you play along with the sketch and theme, you'll be eligible to win this gorgeous little stamp from Whiff of Joy!

Here's my card made with some scraps I had left from another card, this used them up so I haven't done the inside this time. This stamp is one of my favourites I think, he's so cute! I've altered my flower by inking up the edges and embossing it to give a different texture, I hope you like it!
