Hello Again and Violet Birthday

Sooo..... I know, I know, it's been awhile.  In my defense, I did just buy my first home, start home improvement/beautification projects (hello teal green kitchen! LOVE!!), move, host visiting friends and family, and deal with the onset of summer.

I never stopped crafting.  And I certainly NEVER stopped buying more supplies ;).

Now that my life is back in order, and I'm in between house projects (oh the joy of owning a home! - mostly painting/decorating ideas), I thought it'd be nice to update the old blog-O.  Enjoy!

This card I made a while back and thought it'd be nice to share.  I masked the larger violets when I stamped.  This technique allows for the appearance of smaller violets behind the larger ones.  Super easy, and super effective.
