Challenge #852 Blooms, Birds and or Bees

 Hello!

Hope you are all well!

It's Ellies turn to host over at Allsorts, and she has chosen Blooms, Birds and/or Bees.  You can use the Anything Goes option if you like.

I used blooms and bees!

I tried the technique where you smoosh an ink pad over one side of your embossing folder. This EF was call Distressed from SU. I am ok with it; but the first color I used was a purple, and it didn't speak to me! The crocus (and I had trouble with the stamens!) are Spellbinder, and the sentiment and bees are SU!Put is all together with glitter glue, which takes forever to dry, and a few foam pads under the sentiment!

The prize for this challenge Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Glorious Bouquet stamp set available from Buddly Crafts!

Go, see what the rest of the DT have created!

 Please remember, to be eligible you must provide name/makes of products used on your entry (our rules explain why), if missing entries will not be included in winner/Top 7 selections.

This is my first scheduled post so hopefully Blogger will do it's thing! I will be up north, then Bryson will come home with me, so no 'real Gail' posts until September! 

Talk to ya later!
