SC226 Earthy Whispy Blooms

Did you know that fresh skunk spray smells remarkably like a very dangerous chemical spill? Did you know that skunk spray on a dog's face makes them squint in an alarming way? Did you know that skunk smell will cause headaches and nausea? Did you know it is brutal to ventilate a house chock-a-block full of skunk smell when it is cold outside? Don't ask me how my week is going...

In the midst of much more than the skunk incident, I have finally had a chance to sit down and do some stamping just 'cause. I needed a little inspiration so I did today's challenge on SCS since the sketch challenge is always a fave for me!

I used a fabulous set I got from i {heart} papers: an Our Craft Lounge set called Whispy Blooms. I intended to do some paper tole on this bloom, but I didn't get any of the layers coloured as nicely as the first, so I decided to leave it alone and have just one layer. I cut out and layered the image with my classic oval nesties. I'm still so enamoured of my pierceabilities and I used the Victorian Border on this card.

I hope you are having a marvelous week!
