Inspired by Nature 2

Today I'm using the other side of the Inspired by Nature double-mounted stamp set. I colored the flowers with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Early Espresso with Stampin' Write Markers and then misted the stamp with water. I really wanted a watercolor type image but I used Whisper White cardstock to stamp my image onto and am not quite happy with the result. I think I will use watercolor paper on my next attempt and see how that turns out. Cardstock is Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso and the ribbon is Daffodil Delight 3/8" taffeta.

See you again soon.

Inspired by Nature

I recently returned from a visit to my hometown of Pittsburgh, was driving through West Virginia, and fell in love with all the wildflowers that were scattered along the highway. I know they were planted there on purpose to beautify the medians, but it looked like they were just growing there naturally. Such a wildly colorful display!

Today's card was inspired by those wildflowers and was done with the Inspired by Nature double-mounted stamp set. The sentiment is from a retired level 2 hostess set called Something to Celebrate. Little butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die are fluttering throughout the field of wildflowers. I used Tempting Turquoise and Concord Crush cardstock as the base for my garden.

I'm glad you came back for a visit. Please stop in again soon.
