Burnished Blossoms

I'm so thrilled we're at week three of My Pumpkin Challenge #1115 - Share A Caring Thought!  AND, so excited to match it with this week's TGIF #29!
I haven't really been using the kit supplies on this one, have I?  Lol, let me see if I can just dip my toe in, at least!  I decided to cut up the pretty washed panel the kit provided, to make my sidebar.  I did some stamping, but then realized I wanted more dimension, so I stamped on my scrap piece left over to do some contrasted blossoms.  I also decided to try my hand at something I've been seeing a bit for this kit - playing with "burnishing" the BACK of my cutout to add some shape and curl to my flowers.  Neat trick!  I used my scoring tool from my score-board, but an even larger one would look smoother and more defined, I think.  Totally trying this on something else, too!
Tip:  if you want to give it a try, work in little circular motions to minimize creating a "scratched" appearance on your paper surface.
