For my card, I used the new wood stamp,
Petals of Beauty K5897, and
Say It All CL574.
I first stamped the Petals of Beauty on white cardstock, using the Colorbox inks. I then masked off the stems of the flower and over-stamped it two more times. Using a distress marker, I added additional stems and did some shading on the buds.
Next, I die cut the pool cardstock and placed the negative as a frame over the stamped flowers. Using a light pencil, I drew a line along the side of the flower that was underneath the rectangle. I removed it and fancy cut out that area of the flower. Don't forget to erase the pencil! Note, you can see that in the photo it looks like one whole layer.
I die cut the bow, stamped it with the Tiny Ink Spots and used glue dots to adhere to frame. I backed the whole piece with a white card blank.
To finish it off, I black embossed the sentiment and colored all of the flowers and stems with Wink of Stella. You can't see it very well in the photo, but it gives a beautiful glimmer finish to the card!
Don't forget to check back at the Hero Arts blog tomorrow for another day of hopping with some very talented designers!
