A Giving Life card

Good morning!

It's been a while since I've played along with a creative challenge!  I created this card using Mojo Monday's sketch this week:

I added a lot of color to the Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper using the brayer and Regal Rose Classic ink, then sponged with Early Espresso to soften it.  The center of the large flower has Presto Patterns DSP brayered with Old Olive, made into a brad with the Pewter Build-a-Brad kit.

The pink flowers were stamped using the rock and roll technique - first I inked up the stamp in Regal Rose, then I rolled the edges of the stamp into Early Espresso.  I also sponged a little bit of Early Espresso to soften the white edges I left from cutting out the flowers.  To make it easier to see the sentiment, I stamped off once (stamped on scratch paper, then stamped on my cardstock without re-inking).  I actually stamped the sentiment twice with Early Espresso to make it dark enough.. although you can't tell, right?  That's the beauty of the Stamp-a-ma-jig.. just don't move it and you can easily and cleanly stamp an image or sentiment more than once!  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous day!
