It's also for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge to Count Your Blessings. This card was sent to my brother & his family who are some of the biggest blessings in my life.
I started with a piece of plain newsprint as my palette. I inked Hero Arts Old French Writing (H2365) and part of Postage Background (S5061) with Art Print Brown ink, stamping off once before stamping several times on the newsprint background.
Next I inked the Hero Arts Dogwood with Art Print Brown Ink, stamped off once & then re-inked with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink to get the shade I wanted. I inked a small sponge with Worn Lipstick and sponged more color onto the flower petals.
I folded the newsprint several times & inked the creases while it was folded. I also sponged more ink around the edges to frame the design.
I finished with a sentiment from Hero Arts Card Messages stamped in Art Print Brown & mounted the image on a square of brown cardstock.

You sure let your paper do all the work for you on this one, Stef. Why not? It's beautiful and if you layed a panel over it, all it's beauty would be lost.
