I have a few different projects to share as I was playing around with various ideas all week long! First up is a tag that I created with a scrap piece of paper leftover from picking up some extra ink from my craft mat. I loved the mix of colors and used it for my tag and my flowers. This was a result of mixing up some of the new Distress Oxide inks.

I decided to mix it up with adding a touch of stamping in the background using Wendy's background stamp and one of her signature inks to add a faint layer of text.

I then used her stripes stencil and sponged on a hint of pink stripes. I followed that up with a bit of the circle stamp in violet.

I then stamped the flowers multiple times using the potting soil ink over the same inky scraps. I cut the flowers and layered them with purple centers and stems.

Something about those blue flowers just brings a happy smile to my face.

Next up was playing with the squares stencil and the silver embossing paste. I did this on a larger piece of cardstock. After the embossing paste dried I dripped and spritzed black and citron green sprays over the stenciled surface.

After I finished the background I thought it would be fun to cut it up and create three ATCs.  I was inspired to try a few different types including a Halloween inspired one.

On my third ATC, I stamped the sentiment on tissue paper and glued  it over the surface. I then stamped and cut out the little bouquet of flowers for my flowery accent. 

Finally I decided to emulate Wendy's lovely style and finished with a card.

I stamped the background using the leaf green ink. I then layered in the berries and the flower by stamping them and coloring them with watercolor pencils and a waterbrush. I stamped and cut another flower to pop up onto the card.  

I had fun using all my various Wendy stamps, stencils, embossing pastes, and inks!
