Yes! It was a challenge but that's the exact reason why I participate in these challenges! I need to stretch and grow in all aspects of life, including how I stamp! So, this challenge was a growing moment!
I like how this card turned out simple (again...sensing a theme in my life!) I did try a little fancy technique with some bleach. See those little highlights above the flower? That's the look you may get from overstamping using some regular household bleach. Each color and sometimes each piece of cardstock will produce it's own unique look!
