While working on the last card with my Paper Soft I had some left over so I quickly stamped out this image from the GARDEN sheet and applied it to the bud area. I think next time it would be easier to apply the Paper Soft last as it was a little tricky to stamp the poem over the bulky area LOL More details on my art blog inkblocks shortly ~Nancy
