Wildflowers

 Hello my friends!  A new card to show today as I have been having a play with the new "Dandelion Wishes" stamp set from Creative Expressions.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and stamped my wildflower across the bottom in black archival ink.  I stamped it several times without reinking it to get second generation (faded) images too.  I wanted them to look as if they were growing wild silhouetted in a field.  Next I cut a frame using the Grand square nesties.  I mounted several layers of foam pieces on the frame to raise it up above the centre piece and matted it onto a larger black piece of card.  I embossed the centre piece from my frame using the itty bitty polka dot mask.  I inked a piece of white card with forest moss, then broken china, then Dusty concord in a layered fashion.  I dried it well with a heat tool and used my anti-static pad over it then stamped and embossed my sentiment.  I cut it out with Labels 18.  I made a faux nestie from white card to mat it on, then cut the larger size of labels 18 in black as the last layer of my focal element.  I mounted it on foam in the centre of my frame.  I had a tiny bit of leftover inked card from my sentiment so I cut two small butterflies and added them to the top corner of my card to finish it off.  This was a fun play for me as I haven't gotten inky in quite a while!  All for now, Sue x
