Aren't they sweet?!?!  I think they're super cool!

I smooshed Picked Raspberry ink down on my card stock using some cellophane packaging.  The ink was spritzed with water first.  

I always love the look of this technique.

Rose Of Sharon vs Hibiscus 2

 

Back again! 

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Altenew, Pair A Flower.

I have several Rose Of Sharon Trees throughout my yard.  I brought them from my childhood home to my 1st house in Norton Mass and now to Cape Cod.

The colors run from Pink to Blue to Purple.

I paired my Rose of Sharon with the Altenew Wild Hibiscus 

stamp and die set....now wait.....this is why......

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) and  hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) are cousins. Both are members of the mallow family, a large group of several hundred different plant species.

And here's my 2nd pairing:

This card uses the Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp and die sets.

Sentiment from their Beautiful Day stamp set.

'Ink Smooshing' Technique.

Amalgam Black ink.

Clear Embossing Powder.

Zig Markers.

Ink Splatters.

A very simple yet pretty card.

Again, thanks for coming by!
