Today's Ways to Use It challenge is "May Flowers" (with no patterned paper on the card).
I stamped my image on watercolour paper and painted with Gansai Tambi paints. Added a sentiment and bordered it with a die cut frame. I cut the frame twice and glued them together to give it more substance.
I thought of adding some sequins or glitter, but decided I liked the clean look of it unembellished.

You used such a beautiful stamp and the frame just made it even more special. Love the purple.

BEAUTIFUL in its simplicity, Susan. Love the subtle shading your achieved in the lavender flower heads. The pierced frame sets it all off so wonderfully.

This is beautiful, Susan! Love the deep purple as well as the wonderful die cut frame! I love seeing that frame on a card and may just have to have it too! Love the CAS style on this!
