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.
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!

Marcy, this is so beautiful - that flower just glows, and the bow is a wonderful addition! So tickled to be hopping with you once again!
Such a wonderful card and very creative. I didn't even realize at first that the flower was cut to go on top the frame. It just flowed so well it looked it was all one layer. Thank you for the inspiration and the giveaway.
I love how the card extends beyond the die. You don't see that often, but I love it. I also like your choice of colors. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
Sorry to hear you are having glitchy problems! No fun! But your card is still amazing! Love the use of the negative for a frame! TFS
