Sweetly Scented Times Two

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


I inked the stamp with Distress Ink Cubes, lightly spritzed and stamped
using my MISTI.  A damp brush works well to smooth out the color.

Ala Jill Foster and my friend Leslie, I added a bit of ink left over on a brush to the
bottom corner and some light stamping of grass.

The splatters were done with the corner of a stamp and I stamped off on scrap
before stamping on the card.

I added a butterfly embellishment and some gem embellishments to
finish it off.

Challenges:
The Flower Challenge #105 - Focus on flowers add embellishment


When I opened the stamp case, I found a stamped image.  It was a practice for this
month's calendar page.  I put it on a card too.


It was cut at an odd angle but the hexagon frame took care of that.

I'll add a sentiment when I need to sent it.

Challenges:
Can You Handle the Pressure - Use dry embossing with a twist of Summer Fun
Simply Clean & Simple - Didn't use the option of cute animals

Ditto everything Marcia just said, and may I add that popping that butterfly onto your card was embellishment enough for me!
Finding such a beautiful piece all ready for a card is a big bonus, Bonnie! Two wonderful cards!

You always do such a beautiful job with the spritz technique, Bonnie. The flowers are beautiful in any color and the background grass is a great addition. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
