Burst of Colors

Happy Sunday To You All! Today I would like to share a vintage style tag I made a while ago for the CreateExchange FB-group February tag swap. It reached it's destination in Australia last week so I'm able to share it with you here now. But first I would like to announce my winner from the Graph'It Marker & Whimsy Stamps combined challenge. The prize is a 3 pack of Graph' It markers! Without further ado here is the randomly drawn winner: Fiona from Fi's Cards and Crafts Congratulations Sweety!

For this card I used Sweet As Candy - Sweet Lables and  Sweet As Candy Sweet Images . I've stamped the candy images using Memento 'tart pear', 'dandelion', and c...
