Finding the Words Thanks Card

I scrap-lifted this card from the Seasonal Expressions 2 book. It provided the perfect opportunity to use my new mini-stapler and thistle twine. Win, win.

Recipe:
Paper: Blossom, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Finding the Words (CTMH)
Inks: Thistle, Sunset, Glacier, Black (CTMH)
Tools: LePen Journal Pen, Micro-Tip Scissors, Paper-Piercer, Mini-Stapler
Other: Mini-Staples, Thistle Twine, Silver Sequins (CTMH)

Isn't this pretty? One of my favorite techniques is 2nd generation stamping. If you're not familiar, take a look at the flowers I stamped. Do you see how there are 2 different orange flowers? The darker flower was created by stamping once (like you normally would), but the lighter shade was achieved by stamping a second time before cleaning my stamp on the scrubber. It's a great way to stretch your craft dollars when you're trying to build up your tool inventory, such as ink pads. 

Have a wonderful day.
