This is my first card back after a loooong hiatus! It felt good to get back to card making after so long but hard to get back into it!
This is for the Clean and Simple challengeÂ…a Featured Stamper challenge! When I saw that it was Loll, I knew I'd have lots of beauties to chose from to CASE so I chose this one: Pepal Leaves by Loll Thompson at Splitcoaststampers
I sponged the BG with distress inks, splashed some water on it and put it be hid the cut out. Changed the die (which i cut part to make the flourish smaller) and added the sentiment.
Great challenge as always, Jen. I'm so happy to be back to card making and participating in challenges!
