Enjoy

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

I've had some more fun with the Garden Trio set from Penny Black.


I've stamped the flowers on mixed media cardstock with Memento Toffee Crunch ink
for a no-line watercolor look and colored with Distress re-inkers.

After the watercolor was dry, I touched up the color with a watercolor pencil 
and Cuused the matching dies to cut the flowers out.

I also cut a piece of Neenah solar white with the Curved Stitch die and embossed
it with a Stampin' Up embossing folder (ret.).

For a little something extra, I added some stenciling in the background.

The enjoy die cut sentiment was watercolored using the same re-inker.

I finished this card off with a few purple rhinestones.
