Fanactical about Botanical

I am fanatical about Botanical so I had to enter this challenge over on the Moxie Fab World Blog here.


This is one of my favorite styles, Alcohol inks on glossy card stock, then stamping with versamark and embossing with gold and white. I chose blue and green with a touch of brown as these colors represent blue skies and green grass, love earthy colors.
I can't wait to start another one soon with pinky colors. I used to use a lot of bronze for embossing, but have run out, need to get that soon.

These Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden stamps are so versatile and give such a great print.

Forgot to tell you yesterday but this afternoon the Tour de France will be passing by our house!
