Pansies, Pansies Everywhere

I have been having so much fun making these cute little pansies. Several bloggers in the stamping world have been featuring these pansies made using the Floating Reinker Technique and Stampin' Up!'s butterfly punch. It's a messy project but can get addictive. While making them I thought they would never turn into anything that I would want to use on a card, but once they dried and I finished them they were so cute. They're not perfect, just like real flowers.





I taught this technique to the Advanced Stampers Group on Friday afternoon. It was so much fun to see all the different variations of colors. Here are a couple of cards that I made with the finished pansies.
