HAND-PENNED PETALS PROJECT!

Hi, Friends, Stopping by today to share with you a project we made at Play Day this month using the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and the AMAZING Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper!  

Here is a picture of our first project:

We used the stamps from the stamp set and ink pads to color the flowers and leaves.  It makes for a rather abstract look.

Here is my recipe for the card:

6.  Use Memento Black ink to stamp sentiment on lower right corner of Basic White cardstock.

7.  Adhere sentiment panel to Garden Green scalloped die cut.
