For some reason my thumbnail didn't match the photo for the card in my gallery. That never corrected itself and then the card disappeared all together, so here it is again.
The Clean & Simple Challenge was to use the "Thumping" technique. You ink up a stamp and then use a marker of a darker color to "thump" the edges of parts of the stamp. I inked up the stamp with Green Galore. Then, I used a Blender Pen to remove some ink from the flowers. I used Glorious Green on some of the stems and leaves to make them darker and Yoyo Yellow and Only Orange on the flowers. I also sponged the punched butterflies with Only Orange. Thanks for taking a peek!
