I love Tumbled Glass Distress ink. It's such a pretty blue. I used it to sponge the inside of my sentiment circle as well as my White scalloped cardstock base.
The card base was cut with Stampin' Up!'s Scallop Square big shot die. I love to cut card bases with that die. It's so pretty.
The flower was rolled out of My Mind's Eye Just Dreamy 2 paper. Can you believe it's my first rolled flower. I meant to try that for a while. I need a bit more practice but I don't think it was too bad for my first try.
The leaves were cut with Sizzix Little Leaves die and sponged with Peeled Paint Distress ink.
I added Rock Candy Distress Stickles over the flower bud and Shabby Shutter distress Stickles over the leaves.
I added a Maja Roads pin between to leaves for a bit more umphfff....and so that it would work for today's Way to use it challenge.
Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles
