A Week with Springtime Doodles-Day 2

I'm back with Day 2 of "A Week with Springtime Doodles." This is part of a summer-time event here on my blog.  Hopefully, I can highlight several sets before heading back to the classroom in August.

My first set for this summer is Springtime Doodles by Beth Silaika..   Here's the cute set that Beth designed.

  

  

Today, I'm using that cute dandelion stamp, with a technique that I have seen several times, and always wanted to try, but never did.  You know the feeling?

Here's my card:

So, what's the technique?  I used the back of the dandelion stamp to stamp the colored circles in Summer Sunrise, Hibiscus Burst and Hawaiian Shores.  After the colors dried, I turned it over and stamped the dandelion in Versa Mark and heat embossed with white Zing.  I stamped the stem and leaves in my new Jenni Bowlin Seed Packet ink I bought at the convention last week.  (That's the same ink I used on yesterday's card too.)

I recently did some cleaning out and organizing in my scrap room, so I knew that I also wanted to focus on using some patterned paper this week - which I failed to do yesterday.  The striped paper you see here is from Echo Park's Sweet Summertime collection.  I cut a strip for the top and bottom and then stitched them to the flowered panel. 

The big task was deciding what color the base would be.  I finally settled on Hawaiian Shores - an awesome color for anything!

I'm entering this card in Jenny's Anything Goes at wee Memories.  This time it's a two-week challenge with unlimited entries - so why not?  Come play along!

I'll be back tomorrow to share more of this wonderful set!  Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!
