Flowers on a Cloudy Day:

Hi guys!!  I am on a friggin' roll - I think I made more cards this weekend then I did all last month!  It was nice taking a summer break but it has been really awesome getting back into the craftroom.

Today I tried something new, I created my own pattern paper and it was my first time trying offset stamping.  I can't figure out if I like the pattern or if it looks like really bad wallpaper from the 1970s LOL.  

I also tried another new technique of spritzing my stamp with water after I pressed it on the ink pad.  It made for a less "crispy" image which I think works well with the wallpaper look :D  

I would definitely try both of these techniques again!!
