I love the green of my garden, it keeps the place feeling cool, and I was so please when the tree loppers (a few years back) advise that it would be ok to just trim our mango trees and not remove them - they are quite large and what a relief we still have them.
I've in a bit of a creative slump, so it's nice that even a small stamped flower can give me a boost.
From the BOBs ("box of bit's" compliments of Darnell) - I selected the die cut rectangle and quickly chose just a small image - of course it's a flower, and stamped this with Antique Line Distress Ink and left it attached to my Misti, while I watercoloured it with DI - then over stamped the image with Old Paper DI which gives a 'lift' to the image. I added some glitter glue to the stamen and a few extra dots to the card. Then stamped on my sentiment and embossed it with glittery clear EP. To finish I added a dry embossed background panel and a glittery bow.
I am playing along with the Daring Cardmakers challenge - CAS with Sparkle ... AND .... The Flower Challenge #43 - Spring/Autumn
Thanks for stopping by my blog ---- have a HAPPY DAY and stay safe
