Inspired by a card I saw - a cute card for any occasion

I saw a similar card on the Stampin' Up! demonstrator site, and had to break out my stamping goodies.  Remember you can get all the products in my online store. Tomorrow is the last day of Sale-A-Bration, so be sure to take advantage of free stamps with every $50 in purchases!

Instructions:
Used Simple Friendship stamp set

Using Whisper White Cardstock

First stamped the large flower using Elegant Eggplant.

Colored the center of the flowers with daffodil delight, then dotted a little pumpkin pie in there

Used a blender pen to pull some of the purple around the center of the flower (to give it a lighter purple haze around the center of the flower).

Used a Versamarker to color over the flowers, added clear embossing powder, heated it.

Using Certainly Celery ink pad, inked up the small Music Notes wheel and ran it across the cardstock a few times.

Wipe off the excess ink from the embossed flowers (careful not to smear it onto the cardstock)

Using smaller flower and Elegant Eggplant, first stamped off on scrap paper, then stamp on card (this gives them a softer look).

Wipe off excess ink from Embossed flowers (taking care not to smear it on the card).

Using Always Artichoke, randomly stamp the swirl image around the flowers.

Wipe off excess ink from the embossed flowers (again making sure not to smear it on the card).

Using a Stampin' Sponge, sponge the entire cardstock with Certainly Celery (leaving center light)

Using same sponge, sponge around the edges of the project (and in part way) using Wild Wasabi ink.

Using same sponge, sponge around the edges and bottom using Garden Green ink.

Wipe the excess ink off the embossed flowers.

Using Elegant Eggpant ink and the large Butterfly stamp, stamp the butterfly image.

Mount on Elegant Eggplant and Daffodil Delight cardstock.
