Hollyhocks Are Blooming!


I had quite a time assembling these hollyhocks (the dies are not easy!) but I hung in there and created this card for The Card Concept challenge inspired by the floral heart photo.  I'm also using the layout for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I decided to use distress ink colors to color blend the florals after cutting them from Bristol Smooth paper.


STAMPS
: Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You (The Greetery).
INK: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Kitsch Flamingo, Lumberjack Plaid, Mustard Seed distress oxide (Ranger); Versafine Clair Nocturne.
PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Stampers' Select White, Autumn Rose (Papertrey Ink).
DIES: Sentiment Suite Basics, BotaniCuts: Hollyhocks (The Greetery); Border Bling: Skinny Ric Rac (Papertrey Ink).

Thanks for stopping by!   ~Wanda
