Spring Friend's Card

Hello, hostess Tami here with spring-y card to to share;  one you can send to a friend to say hello and let them know you are thinking of them...

The designs were stamped using Mix'd Media Inx and Embossing Powder in Black and Sizzix/Hero Arts Stamp & Die Cut sets. After the designs were stamped, embossed and diecut, they were spritzed using Spun Sugar Smooch Spritz to add a touch of "vintage"...

 
After that, the flowers, butterfly and sentiment were tinted using Smooch Accent Inks...

 Even the twine bow got a slight spritz to "get the white out"...
