Connie-from the Gum Drop Gang Plate #15

So where are the Gum Drop Gang you ask?

Actually I only used the verse that comes with this plate #15 by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The abstract-looking flower image you see is where I put some pretty Marigolds

between my Cuttlebug plates C and B (no embossing folders used) on top

of a piece of white cardstock by Cryogen and ran it all through the 

Cuttlebug.

I ended up with a splash (in more ways than one which I will tell you about next!)

of color in the shape of a flower.  I only used black Memento ink for the verse, no other ink was used.

I scraped off the petals after it had all dried and overstamped the verse.

I will dry the flowers a little first next time as they were so wet it literally 

SPLASHED onto my embossing plates and had to be scrubbed off!

The Cryogen paper has a glimmer to it that really is lovely 

against the splashy flower imprint I think.

What do you think??

Thanks for looking!
