Spring Shoebox Swap #11

Pretty purple and pink flowers, a little bit of DSP, some texture from ribbon and darling card is born!  Carole is a busy busy Mom, right in my own neighborhood. I love that she can get out of the kids  demanding schedule and come spend a few hours stamping at the shoebox swap!

I don't think every stamper understands the importance of sponging the edges of their whisper white elements. If this flower stamped panel was just left unsponged, it would look so stark in contrast to the deep rose red card base, the eye needs the softening transition of the sponging. Great design!

Happy Stamping!
