Chasing Fireflies Inspiration

I finally got to participate in the SCS Inspiration Challenge today!! The website for our inspiration was "Chasing Fireflies". Lots of nice things! My inspiration came from this mini lavender garden. The Target dollar spot is one of my favorite places to shop and at the beginning of summer I had found these tin containers and bought a couple of them. There are grooves on the inside so I cut my paper to fit, notched the ends with a circle punch and sponged the edges. I inked up my Flourishes Nasturtium set for the first time and colored the image with Copics. A few packets of Nasturtiums and a pair of garden gloves on the inside would make a nice gift for a gardner friend!
This project also fits the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge to "cut it out and pop it up" as well as the Shabby Chicks Monthly Challenge to use something that comes from nature on your card/project.
Supplies: Stamps: Flourishes Nasturtiums Paper: Flourishes Classic White Ink: Memento Black Accessories: CopicsYR02, YR04, YR09, YG00, YG03, YG23, Y13, Circle Punch, Ribbon, Pop Dots, Tin Container, Wonder Tape
Enjoy!
