Two Friends Kit Challenge!

Regs picked up one of theses Kit Challenges for me at Two Friends... and so before they packed up my basement for the new carpet I decided to pump it out!

I used some of everything in the kit and all I added was a scrap piece of ribbon, ink, a brad and some liquid pearls. Oh and how could I forget... a little water on the edges of the polka dot paper and on the flowers of course, loving the wet scrunched up paper! :) The first time I tried wetting my paper is... HERE!

A little close up to show the dimension and the clear buttons that I put paper under! :)

Papertrey Ink Spring Fling Challenge!

OK... so this inspiration photo is so pretty but it is also the one I would normally find toughest to translate into a card. So I definitely had to pick it!

Here is my card...

you should click on it for a closer up because the bloom has that flower soft on it! So pretty! And so soften the look of the stamped images, I dipped a small paint drush in the Fresh Snow ink and swiped it over that section!

I also made my ribbon edges frey... GASP, I know!

Hope you like!

Stuff... All Papertrey Ink except the flower soft!
