Pocketful of Flowers

The past couples of days have found me with no inclination to do any crafting but today I finally sat down and made some bright flowers to cheer me up.  It did.  I've not used the Jar of Love set for a while and I like the way one color of ink can look different when you stamp it off.  The bow on the pocket is actually cut from Elegant Eggplant cardstock but I coated it with some Texture Gems and it darkened the color.


Stamp Sets:  Avant Garden (sentiment), Jar of Love; Inks:  Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, Smoky Slate; Cardstock:  Elegant Eggplant, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Whisper White Thick;  Patterned Paper:  Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack; Other:  Everyday Jars Framelits Dies, Scallop Border Punch, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Texture Gems (Faber-Castell), Clear Wink of Stella Brush

The colors I used are from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge.  For all the challenge details and to share your project, click the image below.
