More Favorites- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.

Here is another card to celebrate our 1st Birthday at 

The Flower Challenge

You must check out all the great prizes to be won...it's going to be a great month.

The theme is such an easy one, 

Use Your Favorite Flower

Now you may be wondering about my card and the flowers I chose to stamp with.  I have so many favorite flowers and yes, some of them are weeds. 
As much of the garden flowers die off at Fall's arrival and cold nights, I love the lacy elegance of seeing all the Queen Anne's lace blooming in my area and so that's what I decided to stamp with.

 I created the background first using my Distress Oxide inks and the Splash Watercolour Technique which is so easy and fun.  Basically you rub ink onto a non-stick surface, spray with water and slap your cardstock into the wet ink.

When that was dry, I stamped the Love Letter (butterfly) in the background using the same colours of DOX that I had used to splash onto my cardstock.  I wanted the butterfly to be faintly visible.

Next, using my Misti, I stamped the flowers and the Queen Anne's Lace then the sentiment.

To add a bit more depth and interest to the background, I stenciled using some drywall tape.

 Please come and play along with us and have a chance to win some great prizes too!!

 Thanks so much for the visit.
