Blended Bloom times 2

When I first saw the new Stampin' Up catalog the first stamp that I fell in love with was Blended Bloom. I just love this flower!! So of course when I got my starter kit this *had* to be the first stamp I inked up!!

I wanted to show the flower two ways--one with very detailed coloring with lots of shading and details and then one with very little details and slight shading. I just always love to see how one stamp can look different with just the way you make the card or color it!!

I had originally had other ideas in mind for the designer paper but when I made THIS card and had it out on my table I thought it would work well with these flowers so that's what I used. :) 

For my first card I used an older sketch from SCS--SC306

For my second card I used an older Sweet Sunday Sketch--SSSC210

Have a simply wonderful day and I hope to see you back here really soon!!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!
