Rhododendron


I was really wanting to use my new stamp from OnyxXpression called Rhodendron and found an excuse today. The QFTD on Splitcoaststampers is Harriet aka hskelly and she has a wonderful gallery of cards, many are CAS cards. I chose this card to case: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1907016?&cat=500&ppuser=18530

I stamped my image, colored with Copics, popped up one section of the bloom (at the top), added a ribbon/button and the sentiment.

I am entering these challenges:

Beautifully done Benzi. Hadn'e realized you have delved in to the world of Copics. That explains the punch sales to neighbours LOL! Great button and use of the seam binding and the flower is gorgeous.

I already spotted this beauty in the SCS galleries, but I was delighted to see you played along with Stamps R Us too :) You've done a beautiful job on this one! Those popped up flowers look so pretty, and of course the ribbon, button and beautiful fonts on the sentiment tie it all up perfectly!

I can't wait until my Rhododendrons are blooming. I have three in my back yard. This is so pretty. What a great tribute to Harriet.. one of my favorite SCSers.

90 here yesterday.. I got my garden all planted but fear the rain we got last night may have washed it a bit.. I love pine needles and cannot talk my hubby into using them.. They look great..:)
