At the Wee Memories blog, the Scrappy Saturday challenge this week is called "Woodland Friends". Here is my card:


A very generous friend sent me this Stampa Rosa 1997 House Mouse Designs stamp called "Painting a Pansy". I simply stamped it using Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed it, then colored it with watercolor pencils, sponged the background with tumbled glass distress ink, and then stamped the Spring sentiment. One layer, so easy!

supplies: white cardstock, House Mouse #73, "Painting a Pansy", Impression Obsession WP25 Spring, Versafine onyx black ink, clear embossing powder, Prismacolor watercolor pencils, Hero Arts small gem flower (center of pansy), tumbled glass distress ink
