I can't tell you how much fun I had playing with the Flower Soft. This was my first time to try it and I love it! I'm going to have to "invest" in some more colors of it! :) My card uses the new July stamp release called "summer4fun" by The {Stamps} Of Life. I'm always looking at my stamps trying to "think outside the box." So I used the beach ball images in this set to create "blooms". I was trying to do a sort of cactus flower. :) The sentiment is from the "banners4all" set. The Flower Soft colors I used on my card were Raspberry Fizz and Sage (both were the Ultra Fine). So how do you like my beachball "flowers???" :)
