Wicked Inspiration

I saw the musical Wicked in the Emerald City (Seattle) last night and was completely blown away by it. I think this is my favorite ever! Such a beautiful story about friendship, I hadn't expected to be so deeply moved. See it if you get the chance.
I made a card inspired by my tee shirt. Stamp sets used were Baroque Motifs, Wings Of Friendship, and butterfly from Charming. Garden Green on Certainly Celery. Witch eyelet from the Eyelet Outlet. Sentiment was printed directly onto the cardstock from MS Office Word.

Pressed Flowers

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.
