Boot Bouquet

The SCS Ways to Use It Challenge is to use your favorite resist technique.

For the challenge, I chose the Ghost resist technique, I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Large Elegant Word Background on glossy cardstock with Versamark ink, then sponged with Distress Peacock Feathers Ink.  The rain boot and flowers are from the HFC Rainboots and Blossoms stamps and dies, they were sponged with ink and Stickles added to the flowers and dots.  The birds were cut out of the umbrella image from the HFC Songs of Spring stamps and dies and the sentiment is from the HFC Heartfelt Expressions stamp set, stamped on a banner die.

Dimension was added by sculpting the birds and blooms with a stylus.
