My card today is super girly! :-) It's the first time I've inked up my Greenhouse Garden stamp set, and I just started playing around, not really having a set idea in mind. But I'm happy with where I ended up!Typically, I mat images on all 4 sides, but I found a scrap of Basic Black that was large enough one way, but too short the other. Not wanting to cut a new sheet of cardstock, I just went with it. I added the scalloped border at the bottom to ground it a little more. I went through several variations of the sentiment, trying to find the perfect combo so that it wouldn't melt into the flowers and I wanted to keep the black to a minimum. Lastly, I added some glitter to the center of each flower (you probably can't tell from the picture) adding just the right amount of sparkle!
Thanks for stopping by!
