Secret Garden

Flower shapes was just the thing I need on this bright winter day.  The Friday Mashup! was just want I needed to get going on this card.  You could create a project using the suggested Embossing Folder Technique or create one with Mix & Match Shapes or you could "mash it up" using the technique and the shapes.  I tried my best.  :-)

My first attempt was not good so you aren't going to see that one!  :-)  I used the opposite side of the embossing folder instead of the way the directions had had you use it.  I really like the airiness of the honeycomb.  I dug out my retired Secret Garden stamp set and dies and here is what happened when I put everything together.  I was thinking of my mother and how much I miss her so I added the Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.


Stamp Sets:  Secret Garden (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes; Inks:  Blackberry Bliss, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crushed Curry, Marina Mist, Tangelo Twist, Wild Wasabi; Card Stock:  Marina Mist, Watercolor Paper, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Secret Garden Framelits Dies (retired), Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Radiant Rain Shimmering ICE Mist (Splash of Color), Dimensionals, 2-Way Glue Pen
