Alo- HA

Aloha friends and happy saturday!

No,  I am not in Hawaii but wish I were.

Bringing a little aloha saturday to you with today's card.  

Start with a piece of vellum paper and cut yourself out a 2 3/4" circle. 

Choose what color base cardstock you would like.  

I chose a natural white.

Lay the vellum over the top of the cardstock centered

and prepare your stamp with ink.  I used Soft Suede.

The background stamp I am using is called Woodgrain,

you can use any type background I just like the look of the wood. 

The reason for using the vellum paper is when you go to stamp over

the circle it enables you to get a clean image.  If you were to use

regular cardstock then the image wouldn't be clean against the paper.  

Once the circle is stamped grab a brown ink pad 

(I used soft suede) and grab an aqua painter.

and start to shade the woodgrain. 

I stamped the flowers three times and cut them out, 

also the leaves.   Use some dimensionals to pop

the flowers up.   I added some rhinestones to the center. 

I also used the aqua painter on the center

in daffodil delight.  

Add a little shading to the underside of the flowers,

And there you have a little bit of Aloha!
