Dancing with Flowers

Hello, friends!  Just playing with the Hero Arts "Dancing with Flowers" cling and loving it!  (As an aside, it was the "Stamp of the Week" and 25% off at the Hero Arts store.) 

My first card is a total CASE of Shari Carroll's beautiful card seen at this post at the Hero Arts blog.  I couldn't resist trying what she did...shameful, I know, but why mess with perfection?  (Yes, I think her gorgeous card is perfection.)   I stamped the Dancing with Flowers image with Soft Leaf shadow ink, then stamped the Friend Definition over it with Soft Vanilla shadow ink.  I distressed the edges with Antique Linen distress ink and added a few extra dots on the kraft paper with my white Inksentials pen.   Thanks to lovely Dana (aka Scrapper43 at the Hero Arts Flickr group) for the beautiful lace ribbon I won in her blog give-away a while back...this is the first time I got to play with it and I love it! 

Materials Used:  Hero Arts "Dancing with Flowers" (CG266), "Friend Definition" (CG125);
Fiskars "Threading Water" border punch; Martha Stewart butterfly punch; Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper; lace;
Hero Arts Soft Leaf and Soft Vanilla Shadow Inks; Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink; white Inkssentials pen;
Hero Hues Art Flowers; Prima flowers; gems, button, twine


The next card I made followed the same initial steps (i.e., Friend Definition in Soft Vanilla shadow ink over the Dancing with Flowers image in Soft Leaf shadow ink), but then I cut it out with a Nestie and mounted it to a patterned DCWV card.  I switched up the butterfly and the flowers in order to coordinate with the background card.
