Sympathy & Plants

 Happy Friday!  I'm off to go shopping with a friend today, then I have a busy weekend planned with company both days. I'm looking forward to it! I love cooking and entertaining.

I've got 2 cards to share today - this first one is for the following challenges:

Beautiful Blossoms #39

Colorful Options April - Yellow or Rainbow

Alphabet Challenge - Y is for Yellow Flowers

Creative Knockouts - Embossing Delight

I used the reverse stencil technique on the background (watercolor paper) with some heavy ink on the stencil and lots of water, then dragged the edges in black. I stamped the flowers from Unity Stamp Co. in Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of previously distressed watercolor paper and used an arch nesting die, also from Unity Stamp Co. to cut it out, then attached it with foam dimensional tape. I flicked a bit more black ink on the card and yes, it smeared. Sigh.

................................

And this next one is for the following challenges:

CAS on Friday - Botanical

Crafty Calendar April - Dies and Punches

Paper Funday #86 - AG/Optional Dies or Punches

Dragonfly Dreams April - Clean and Simple

This one was super simple - the adorable Potted Plants dies are from Jaded Blossom. I stamped the sentiments from Ink Road Stamps directly on the card with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. Peace.
