A flower for your thoughts

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the main background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Art Deco Fanfare Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I stamped the foliage from the Justrite A Flower for your Thoughts Stamp Set using Olive Archival. I stamped the flower from the same stamp set using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I cut out using Justrite Vintage Labels Five Die Set and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut a larger die from the set out of Mauve Card.

I cut the largest 2 dies in Sue's Italian Decorative Frames Die Set out of Milk Card. I removed the outer die and inked through the remaining die with Dusty Concord.

For the large panel, I stamped the Jusrite Garden Trellis Background onto Milk Card using Perfect Medium. I dusted it with Sugar Grey Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Delicate Lace Mica Spray Set. I removed the excess powder using a dry wet wipe. I matted the panel onto Mauve Card.

For the top right panel, I popped some Purple Orchid Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ink Spray Mist onto my Craft Sheet and mixed with a little Cosmic Shimmer Warm White Chalk Paint. I used this to ink up a section of the Justrite Fleur Twist Background Stamp using Cut n Dry Foam and stamped onto Milk Card.

I sprayed some Purple Orchid Vintage Ink Spray Mist onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam to make myself an 'ink pad'. I then spayed a little more onto my Craft Sheet and mixed this with a little Enchanted Lilac Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Delicate Lace Mica Spray Set. I added this to my 'ink pad' and used it to stamp a section of the Justrite Iron Swirls Background Stamp. I stamped the sentiment from the A Flower for Your Thoughts Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and I pierced around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
