Flowery Thinking of You

I made this card "just because" and it was so much fun! I like doing my design team "work" and the challenges on SplitCoastStampers are fun, too, but sometimes it's just nice to pick up a stamp set and make something. :)


All the stamps on this card (well, not the sentiment, which is from Gina K) are from the same Recollections set. The "leaves" are actually done by coloring two petals of a flower and using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position them. Two different sizes of flowers, to be exact. I did the coloring with Copics. The matting is Perfect Plum from Stampin' Up! (Edited to add: It's really very unimportant, but I simply drew the lines for the stems with a fine-tipped black marker.)


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
