Splitcoast CAS challenge 3 in a row

I hope you are surviving winter where you are! It's the coldest day of the year here in North TX! Honestly, I had no idea it got this cold here when we moved here.  I was so very misinformed.  But I'm holding out hope that very soon there will be bluebonnet sightings very soon.  And that just makes me smile.  Right along with this beautiful stamp set from Altenew.  Lavender is just so pretty.  I don't think I've ever seen more then photos of lavender fields, but I can just imagine how beautiful they must be. And the smell must be divine!

This was such an easy set to stamp using the Misti stamping tool.  I was able to cut and stamp a pile of pretty lavender in just a few minutes.

I used Impression Obsession inks in orchid, lavender and lilac to stamp the flowers. I inked the first layer of the lavender color, then I inked just the tips with the lilac and stamped then stamped over the entire image with lilac.  I love how this makes each one just look a little different and natural.  I finished the stems and then tied them together with twine.  

I thought the all white background needed just a bit of color so I added just a bit of green patterned paper before I die cut the edge piece. I love layering die cuts to give the card a bit of dimension without taking away from the image focal point.  I finished by stamping the sentiment.  

I did take some creative liberty with this weeks challenge.  I attempted to use my buds in a row but they just seemed to want to cluster.  I hope you join our Splitcoast Stampers CAS challenge, I can't wait to see where the challenge takes you! 

Stay warm and cozy my friends,
