Flowers in Bloom

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Seize the Birthday has a prompt of alcohol.
I thought about raising a glass, but decided to pull out a piece of background
done in alcohol ink instead.


Actually I pulled out two pieces.  I used pink to stamp and die cut the flowers and 
a piece of green for the stems.

Another for those May birthdays.

Challenges:
MFT Color Challenge - Pink & Green

I am going to have to remember this, you notice I said "try". The alcohol inking technique made such pretty flower petals. They are quite interesting to look at too. I have a feeling that the techniques you used are not as simple as you make it sound!

Bonnie, I think I have used this stamp set twice and I have had it for a very long time. Such a perfect choice with the alcohol inks, wish I would have thought to use it. Thanks for being in our gallery again at Seize the Birthday!
