I seem to be reaching for fluorescent colours lately. I did this card for a challenge, not realizing the challenge was already over. The challenge was to do something new. I wanted to try using distress ink reinkers and saw a video where someone blew the ink to make a cool tree. Not having a straw, I tried to blow on the ink to make my flower stem and leaf. Yeah, didn't work. I ended up using a stir stick (which I have around for spreading glue) to spread the ink. I also used it to spread the second line of ink into grass.
The flower is punched on a die cut circle and raised.
I wasn't sure how I felt about the card until I added the sentiment. Then I liked it. Kind of. Not my best card, but I'm getting out of my comfort zone, which is good.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections
Stamp: Hero Arts - small solid flower; Kaisercraft - friendship sentiments
Ink: Hero Arts fluorescent pink
Distress reinter - peacock feather
Spellbinders standard circles small

i like the bottom of the card- the grass. The flower not so much. It's too flashy for the blown grass.
just my 2c worth :)
