What a wonderful card! Cathy - let me ask you how you did your grass? I've tried to do something similar to that -- but I always get the leafy part of the stamp. I think your Mom (if this is who you are sending it to) will love your card. TFS!

I bet I just did what you think I did - I just inked the stem/leaf stamp up with the moss ink and tap tap tapped it over and over along the edge with a piece of scratch paper underneath the edge. I just turned the stamp a little to the right, so that the leaf would be under the edge line, but it would not hurt to have the tip of the leaf showing occasionally. It might just be thick grass I thought it looked good just randomly tapping it on there - like 3 impressions per inking so you get softer shades in there too with less ink. But if you REALLY do not want the leaf to show then I would use the moss marker and just color the stem part instead of using the pad. Hope that helped!

I have to tell you...I absolutely love this and your Tulip album you made. Your work was so inspiring that I had to try it myself. I made a card similiar to yours using Terrific Tulips and the tulips from Never-Ending Joy. Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your beautiful work.
