Unfortunately with my black thumb, my garden is all weeds. That is my best crop. At least this stamp set makes the dandelions look beautiful!
I stamped the dandelion using versamark ink onto the main panel and embossed with white powder before stamping the sentiment using tea dye distress ink many times. I then used three different colors of chalk on the panel. My dandelions didn't show up well enough after that, so I reheated the embossing powder twice adding more embossing powder each time. That gave the image so much more dimension. I love how it turned out. I then distressed the edges of the main panel with my distressing tool. The vine behind is Spellbinders On the Vine Border Grand which was airbrushed using the die as a stencil. The butterfly from the set was stamped twice onto white cs using tea dye ink and clear embossing powder. The first one was cut/embossed with Labels Four and airbrushed with the die still in place. The second butterfly was cut out and added to the first, popping up the wings a bit. I added the satin ribbon knot to the top left corner. The ribbon is also from Mark's Finest Papers.
Thanks for looking!
