Great Flowers and Flower Blocks
 For the 10th and 11th, I did clean and simple/ one layer cards with using glossy accents. For the next two days, I am sticking with the one layer technique but I wanted to play with my Stickles.

Great Flowers...
I did random flower stamps but picked just one to be my focal flower. I messy colored with my TH distress and them picking a couple different Stickle colors to add my bling. Of course I had to keep going, and going, and going, lol.
My second card is Flower Blocks...
I tried the clear block technique (which I found in the tutorial list on MFPS ning site. This is an awesome forum for techniques, tutorials, challenges, and of course stamps)
So for this card, I did this great flower block stamp and inked it up in black. Taking Black Diamond Stickles, I did a very fine line. An of course to stay with the one layer technique, I used different do washi tape.

So what do you think? Have you done any of these techniques before? 
Hope to see you tomorrow for our last hop day!
