This is for IC328 and Johnny-Tapete Vintage Wallpaper is our inspiration site today. I was inspired by the Alberta Baroque found here: http://www.vintage-wallpaper.com/vin..._prod5722.html I loved the green and cream color combination and was instantly reminded of my Rubbernecker Victorian Damask Panel. I stamped the panel image on vanilla cardstock and die cut an oval frame opening. I die cut a vanilla mat layer to double mat the framed opening. I attached mounting tape to the back of the frame and then attached it to the section of the die cut section of damask frame layer that had been cut out of the main layer. Is that as clear as mud? I mounted the whole main frame layer to the vanilla card base with mounting tape. I punched out several daisy flowers, formed the flowers with a stylus and mat and attached them to create the large main flower. I die cut several leafy flourishes, distressed, sponged with green ink and attached to the base of the card around the frame. I attached the main flower at the top of the design. I created several smaller flowers to attach to the leafy flourish sections and then filled all the flowers with a tiny pearl center. I sponged a little yellow ink on all the flowers after I got them attached as they looked a little dead and I waned to bring a little life to them. You can check out the tutorials on my blog home page if you would like to see how I create my flowers and floral sprays. http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kittiekraft/
