This is my triple combo card. For today's Inspiration Challenge, I chose Tree Lover's Bag for the khaki color and big flower theme. For the LSC, we were to use circles and use only 1 stamp set. I used the Flowers & Elements set from Innovative Stamp Creations . For the WT, we were to stamp it again. The flower was stamped twice, the bg script stamped repeatedly and the text on the twill tape was stamped several times.
The flower was stamped twice on kraft and colored w/ a white Prismacolor pencil. I cut apart the second one and layered and added individual petals to the base flower. Then I used the Nestie circle set to cut it out. On the white layer, I first embossed it w/ a piece of plastic canvas (to get the grid embossing) then cut it w/ the largest Nestie circle. I sponged on a little Soft Sand ink on the raised portions. I used the plastic canvas embossing on the black rectangle as well as the white rect. layer behind it.
On the kraft bg, I stamped the script w/ white pigment ink, pierced it all around and added faux stitching w/ a white gel pen. I stamped the flower words onto the twill tape and attached it w/ eyelets. It's edged w/ a black marker.
Twistel was threaded and tied thru the buttons and they were attached w/ glue. A big button was also glued in the flower center.
Thanks so much for looking
