The Dandelions are in Bloom -- for DigiStamps4Joy

Hello, and happy Wednesday, crafty friends!  It's time for some mid-challenge inspiration at DigiStamps4Joy.  The theme for this challenge is "Flowers".  I've been using my Copic markers almost exclusively lately, so I wanted to try something different.  I got busy with some Tim Holtz distress inks instead:

I used the DS4J digi "Dandelion" on this card.

I sponged the outside of the image with distress ink, used two Spellbinders dies on it, and mounted it on some paper that I thought brought out the bright color of the ink (paper by My Mind's Eye, from my stash).  the butterfly is a die by Cheery Lynn, the ribbon is 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon from the Celebrations Bundle. The sentiment is a retired stamp from Close To My Heart. 

I love creating with flowers! If you do, too, come link up with us at DigiStamps4Joy. You have until Tuesday, June 24th.
