Best Wishes

Good Afternoon!

These little note cards will be entered into the Challenges at Papertrey Ink, Masked Backgrounds, Simon Says Monday, Make A Wish, and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

Stamped image from the Papertrey Ink set, Flower Favorites, sentiment from Gina K Designs, Pleasant Plurals.  

 
I masked off a 2 inch space on each card and proceeded to sponge orange and yellow and blue and green inks onto the Rustic White card stock.  

 
Stamped the iris and stems in complimenting colors.  Added the sweet little bee image and colored it's wings with a Sakura Clear Glitter Pen.  Ribbon accent.  These cards both measure 3.75 x 5.5 inches.  The one on the left is top folding and looks smaller in the photo.  (optical illusion)  :)
 
Thanks so much for popping by!
 
Enjoy~~
