Honeysuckle note!

Hello, my friends!  I've been hanging out with my best guy while he's on vacation!  But today, while he mowed the lawn, I snuck into my studio for a first play with my recent buy from The Greetery!  

Their sweet Honeysuckle Stems were too cute to resist - love their size, and the trio of stems is the perfect number for good design.   I was able to incorporate this darling Brick Layer die onto a panel I found in my snippets that has a curvy die cut edge... perfect time to add a little lift, and a sweet sentiment from Pretty Postmarks, too.


I have to tell you the layering/inking guide in this set was extremely helpful!

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Inks:  Catherine Pooler - Orange peel, tutti frutti, sangria, and lemongrass for blooms
           The Stamp Market - Leafy and Mossy for stems and leaves.

So gorgeous with every element in delightful harmony! Something about the stenciled inking of the honeysuckle has a retro look and I'm loving it!
