Ya' see something on the Internet, you think it'd be easy to CASE, and then . . . . I've made this card four times, now, but I'll spare you most of the sad details.
I did figure out, though, that SU's old craft inks cover much better on crumb cake cardstock than the current Classic inks. Fortunately, I still have those little spots and a good stash of craft inks. ;-)
I also decided I didn't like the grasses all shiny, so I stamped the green craft ink, then heat dried, then stamped the flowers and heat embossed them.
[ETA: I just changed it again! And I like it much better now!]
I'd love to give credit to the person who originally created a similar card. If you know who it was, please PM me, and I'll edit.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us in this week's Color Challenge.

Well, all your effort was richly rewarded - this really turned out well - love the way the white flowers POP on the kraft paper and the grasses look wonderful too! Nice ribbon treatment on the top!
