Stamping 411 & TAC

My card today is for a couple of challenges. One is  TAC blog hop featuring Retiform technique. That was a new one for me. I love the softness of the look and wanted to try it. There is a great tutorial  by Heather Scott here. The design is for stamping 411.
Supplies: ivory cardstock, DP from Stampin Up
Inks: lavender & turquoise from Studio G
Stamps: Solidago Sprig from Delta, sentiment from PTI
Lavender glitter gel pen to add a few dots to the sprig.
Dragonfly is a sticker.
Ribbon: seam binding from SU. Bow tied with Bow Easy
Button from years of collecting buttons, tied on with embroidery floss.

    Very nice card Donna! I love the gentle hand you have with the inks ... something I am struggling to master! Again, very nice!
