Blended Bloom for My Friend

This is the first Blended Bloom I did.

I finally got it on a card.

I used the Rich Razzleberry set of Blendabilities.

I really like them for coloring and the rich look they have.

But when I set it aside and proceeded to do one 

with the Daffodil set, I got splatters all over this one.

It was easy enough to fix by adding some more dots.

I've learned to take the tops off away from any work

and to leave the tops loose until I'm finished.

I can't wait until Stampin' Up! releases more colors.

And until they release these colors to the public.

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

is You've Gotta  Have Friends.

I'm blessed with many and one

will get this card.

And speaking of friends,

Darnell is still holding her

NBUS Challenge

and since this was the first time I used

this stamp and the Blendabilities

and I have the added feature of being for a friend,

I'm going to enter this challenge for the 3rd time.

If  you have never visited Darnell's blog,

be sure you do.  She has a delightful way with words

(or non-words as is often the case),

 and is always very positive and upbeat.

I always leave her blog with a smile on my face

and often with a few giggles too.

I hope you'll click on the links and check out these challenges.

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!
