Bloom

While floral themes may not always be thought of as being ideal for guy cards, in this case, there couldn't be a better choice . . .

This one is going to a local grower  who has been producing beautiful flowers and shrubs for decades.  As I'm a little backed up on my cards, I needed to come up with a rather quick layout.  So after white-embossing the clematis, I sprinkled on a few dried die ink powders and spritzed with water to hydrate the powders and spread out the colors. A little judicious mopping up here and there was followed by the heat gun. 

After framing, I stamped a randomly dotted image with VersaMark and sprinkled on some Heat and Stick powder.  Then after heating the powder, I sprinkled on some glitter for a little sparkly pizzazz.  DONE!
