JAI 467 sketch challenge - blended floral friend card

I had a bit of time to play today & got to make a card for week's new Just Add Ink sketch challenge - I love when that happens.😃 This is the challenge sketch we're using, created by the lovely Lou Kitzelman.

And this is what I made, again using the beautiful Free as a Bird stamp set - this time with no birds.

JAI 466 inspiration challenge - Christmassy birds

It's been a been a while between Just Add Ink challenges and any cardmaking for me lately. I needed to take a break after my dear Mum's passing, however I've been decluttering my stamp area & feeling like I'm ready to start stamping again, so the good news is that I have a card to share with you.

This week's Just Add Ink challenge is to use this image as our inspiration.

Inspiration challenges are usually my most challenging, but I kept the card clean and simple, using the theme, colours and layout in the image as my inspiration, & it seemed to come together. This is what I've made. What do you think?
