ah, unloved stamp set, oh Kandi...I can't say mine are unloved so much as no time! It was hard to pick, but since I wanted to try the mist over inking techique, I chose Happy Harmony and Gifts from the Orient. Come have a look!
My vase (from Gifts) was inked with the majestic blue from VersaFine and embossed in clear. I used TH di in Spiced Marmalade and Dried Marigold on the flowers from Happy Harmony. There's a definited learning curve with how much water to mist. I cut and arranged the flowers in my vase. The wonderful tropical frame is an unmounted image from Stamp Francisco. I inked it with TH di walnut stain. The sentiment is ColorBox black/embossed with clear. The gorgeous orange paper is from Basic Grey's Ambrosia 'zest'. I used Making Memories 'dusk' blue to make my mat. A piece of runched blue ribbon was adhered to the top and the card base is GP white cs.
Thanks for looking, I know everyone is busy with the challenges, and I do appreciate your comments! Happy Weekend.

What a fantastic card! Your orange flowers are lovely and oh how I love Asian inspired cards . . . I'm finally getting some time in the VSN galleries, even though I only completed four challenges. (WAH! I wanted to make a card with feathers!)
