I´m back with a challenge

Hello and thank you for stopping by,
I know it has been really silent on my blog for a few months, but I will try to better myself and share more of my crafts here with you my dear followers.
So to start I made a card for the inkspire-me challenge 193. I never took place on one of their challenges and so I will defiently give it a try and see how it will go.

They have a colorchallenge this week using basic black, strawberry slush and whisper white plus a color of your choice. I picked old olive as my additional color and used one of my favourite Stampin´Up! Sets at the moment : painted petals.
I got the sketch for the card from Always playing with paper. 

 I used whisper-white cardstock as my base and then addes layers of the basic black and strawberry slush. Then I took a piece of whisper white and stamped my pattern using the painted petals stampset. I used 2 3/4 inch strips of basic black and old olive to do the flags and layered them .
The Sentiment was stamped in strawberry slush and cut with the chalk-talk framelits. I inked the edges in basic black and then took the strawberry-slush  stampin´write marker to draw a free hand line that framed the sentiment that I totally love. I popped it up on dimentionals. Finally I added some bling to my card and I was done.

Please let me know what you think of my card. I love to read all of your comments. Have a wonderful sunday everyone.
Happy Crafting!!!
Maria :)
