Wonky wreath

Well this wreath didn't quite turn out like I was hoping, I think when you stamp these wreaths you need to use one single stamp at a time and not a cluster of flowers on one stamp.

I first stamped the stamp you see in the bottom right corner, four times around, using very light ink because I knew I wanted to color in the flowers and leaves and thought that would be easier than trying to stamp them all out different colors since the images were quite close together.

I use my Misti stamp tool and my homemade wreath template.  I wanted a couple extra leaves so I used the two biggest leaves in the stamp set and stamped them again this time with green ink.

After coloring my idea was to cut around the stamping to have a finished wreath, which is when I ended up with my wonky wreath.

It may be a bit wonky but I thought it was still pretty, so I made a card out of it :)

After cutting out the wreath I added a few dots with my pen for some more filler around the flowers. For the life of me I can't think of the name of the product I tied my bow with, and there is no name on my packaging.

We have had a small break from the heat, the rain storm that went through today has given a little relief, always so thankful for that :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi,
