Not a card!!

I broke into my new Papertrey Green Thumb set last night!! There sure are alot of stamps in there!!! This is the outcome...a framed piece for my mom/dads new three-season room...


(Click on the photo for a larger view)
The frame is one of the Target $1 frames from last year sometime...I like to hoard!!! I stamped the focal point on watercolor paper and went over most of the flowers with my wet watercolor brush to blend the lines a little. I added some yellow glitter pen to the centers of the hollyhock flowers. The centers of the small pink ones are outlined in stardust pen although it is hard to see in the photo. I have to admit, this set was a little tricky to use at first (there are just so many possibilities of designs) but I kept at it and am pretty pleased with the result. I stamped the upper part of the background paper with my speckle stamp and the lower portion with my DRS Designs plaid stamp. I added some ribbon and done!
We spent the day at my parents pool and have a somewhat busy weekend ahead - I do hope to squeeze some stamping in though. I rec'd my SU Catty today - lots of ideas in there! We have a wake and funeral to attend Sunday and Monday so here's hoping for some time on Saturday!! I hope your summer is off to a great start - I can't believe it is almost July 4th already!!
See you soon...
