I dug out my flower press yesterday and experimented with drying various flowers from around my garden (verbena, geranium buds and something from a tree that has red pods that bloom into a white 5 petal flower.) Yay, free embellishments! You would be amazed at what you can find year round on a nature hike that would be suitable for preserving. Basket was floating around in my stash of odds and ends, I inked it with Creamy Caramel ink. Baroque Motifs swirl in Sage Shadow with flower in Pretty In pink, Going Gray matting and card base.
Also for our Doubledog Dare Challenge this week hosted by Beverly (beestamper) for a sketch challenge found in the Splitcoast Challenges thread. Come and join us!
