All Abloom

This card was entered into a sketch challenge and I hope it makes you think of SPRING!  I can't wait for it to get here.  I didn't have as hard a winter as some, but for me it was not a warm one as others have been in the past.  I hope this card will warm you and cheer you up at the same time where ever you are!!!!

Supplies used:
Card stock:  All Abloom Paper Stack 133703, Daffodil Delight 119683, Strawberry Slush 131295 and Whisper White 100730.  Ink: Strawberry Slush 131178.Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes 127802 clear.  Accessories:   2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch 118874, Modern Label 119849, Word Window punch 119857, Apothecary Accents framelits 127003, Neutrals Candy Dots 130934, Dimensionals 104330, snail adhesive 104332, Bakers Twine Whisper White 124262 and Strawberry Slush reinker 131167.

The twine on the card was dyed with the Strawberry Slush reinker to match the paper.  I didn't have any Strawberry Slush ribbon so I decided to dye some twine. I laid the twine on aluminum foil and dropped about 3 drops of reinker and rolled it in the aluminum foil to get it good and coated with the ink.  Took it out and let it dry and then rinsed it and dried it again and this is the results and it doesn't come off on your hands when you rinse it and dry it the second time.  It is a messy job dying it though. Give it a try when you need something to match. Ribbon can be done the same way. If you are short on time you can dry it with your heat gun being careful not to burn you or the twine or ribbon.  Have fun and thanks for stopping by.  Any product you might need can be purchased at the online store by clicking the catalog in the sidebar.

Happy Stamping and Crafting,
Johnnie
