Similar But Different

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I made a week ago, just hadn't uploaded yet.  I've been dealing with a nasty migraine for a while now, and nothing seems to be helping; including coloring to try and focus on something other than my migraine.  

 

After stamping both sets of images from the Little Things and Gopher It stamp sets from Gerda Steiner Designs.  Once I had stamped all of the images, I colored them using my Ohuhu before lightly blending some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink.  Taking my retired Stampin Up Watercolor Mini's, I created the "grass" by stamping the fern repeatedly in the following distress inks: mowed lawn, crushed olive, forest moss before lightly stippling some walnut stain on some primas I've had for years to darken them up.  I dug through my stash of designer paper scraps and found this long retired GinaK Great Outdoors digital paper and added that to my card bases.  After die cutting some scrap card stock, I made my own floral spray before adding the dyed flowers.  Some bling, faux sewing, faux brads, 3D glaze pen and stardust stickles finish them off.  I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.  Close up's below:
