Created for inspiration challenge IC66. As soon as I saw this inspration picture I knew Basic Grey BLUSH was the answer!! Luckily I just got a Blush 6x6 pad and haven't cut into it yet... so this was perfect!
The flowers are from Big Blooms and were lightly inked with chocolate chip, then stamped on a distressed sheet of BG paper. I threaded ribbon through the background layer for the flower stems... this has been one of my favorite flower techniques lately! The ribbon is from the BG Blush fiber collection, as is the fiber tied to the spiral clip at the top of the card.
I stamped the Kanji "tranquility" stamp on the cut out leaf at the top, the attached it with the above mentioned clip. The flower centers are cut from a 12x12 sheet of blush paper. This card measures about 6.25x3.25" - it fits into one of those short, business envelpes, which I will decorate to match.

Wow - You should shadow box this and save it forever! What a beautiful work or art. Of course, if you REALLY need to send it to someone I'd be happy to send you my addy!

I believe Big Blooms was designed with you in mind. Your cards with stamp are all fantastic and this one is spectacular. You have certainly become one of my favorite CSC artist.
