Lupine - Repeat Impressions SOTW

Happy Monday!  This week's Stamp of the Week (SOTW) at Repeat Impressions (RI) is the Lupine (1711-K).  As you probably know by now, if you go to the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built, you can get the code for 50% off this stamp this week.  While you're there, check out what the other RI Rockstars created with this image!
I Googled Lupine images to see what colors they came in and I got this layout idea from looking at the images.  I cut out the oval on the top panel with a Nestability.  I stamped the Lupine image several times with Memento London Fog inside the oval on a background panel.  Then I stamped the image again on the front panel with the cut out oval.  I used RI's grass border stamp as well, then colored in the lupine with SU! markers.  I added the dragonfly brads and mounted the top panel on dimensionals.
Thanks for coming by!
Supplies: Stamps - Lupine (1711-K), Grass Border (1507-J); Ink - Memento London Fog; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - SU! Markers, Nestabilities, Dimensionals, dragonfly brads
