CBC crew competition - stamping CBCC061

I've been meaning to do something for this since I got back from Eastbourne. This evening I decided to have a play - the result certainly isn't my best achievement, but it took me so long that I thought I'd show it anyway.

This was the challenge: ' so a nice simple idea - but the design can be as complicated as you like.... You must only use stamps and inks to create your card - no patterned paper is allowed. '

I used two Rhona Farrer swirl stamps that I received a few months ago as part of a prize (I love using these) ad randomly stamped them, using various parts of them. The ink pad was Brilliance pearlescent purple and I embossed with Moonglow plum.

These are the stamps randomly used for the background:


The stamp cut and mounted in the middle is one of the foam ones from QVC.
