Dandelion Wishes Card

I loved this stamp set when it came out!  It brought back so many memories when I was a kid - blowing the dandelions and making wishes!!  In retrospect, I'm sure my Dad didn't appreciate that in on his lawn.  There are  a lot of examples on Pinterest, but I fell in love with this card that Brenda made on her blog - VIDEO.  I loved the technique she used to highlight the dandelions.

I also love Lemon Lime Twist CS which I used for my base card.  I'm so sorry this color is retiring.  This was one of the best greens SU has had.  I covered the front panel with some Brights DSP I had in my stash.  My green layer - 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" came from my Botanicals Gardens pack and the blue layer - 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" came from my Share What You Love DSP.  I used Old Olive ink for my dandelion.  I then used my Whisper White craft ink and a dauber to highlight my dandelions.  I let then dry for awhile and then did it a second time.  I love how the craft ink shows up

 I made my own colored ribbon by using a dauber and Lemon Lime Twist ink.   My sentiment was on Whisper White - 3" x 3/4".  I just love this sentiment.  I then added some pearls to the centers of the dandelions.  You could use this card for so many occasions. 

I tried multiple times to take this picture.  I don't why it turned out so fuzzy.  I used one of the stamps from the set of the little "puffs" flying in the air for my inside. 

I also decided to use one of the other stamps and stamp the back of the envelopes.  I think it turned out so cute.  Our Spring weather has turned to rain, clouds and thunderstorms.  But at least it is not snow!!

Thanks for stopping by,
