I used the Nature Walk stamp set again for this card. It seems to be a Nature Walk kind of week. For the base, none other than Early Espresso with some Botanical Gazette DSP layered on the top. It's kind of hard to tell in the photo, but I added some So Saffron bees to the DSP for a little more unity and depth. Otherwise the DSP is as is, meaning that I did not add any additional sponging or or anything to it. i then added a strip of So Saffron across the bottom of the DSP. Then I began working on the focal point. I stamped my Bee in Basic Brown on a piece of Very Vanilla stock and added a little So Saffron with a blender pen. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, my all time favorite greeting set, at least for now :-). I layered this on a piece of So Saffron that is 1/8" bigger and then another piece of Early Espresso that is 1/4" bigger. To the top left corner I added some brads that look like buttons, aren't they cute. They are from the Vintage Trinkets collection. And finally for some texture I added a piece of Early Espresso striped grosgrain ribbon. The whole focal point is mounted with dimensionals of course. I don't think I can make a card without them. I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!






Love this image with that DSP print. Very cute! TFS.
