I wanted to use these Flower Garden stamps before tidying them off my desk, and decided to go back to an old TLC from Joan ~ TLC493 Faux Block Image.
I cut a square reverse mask, and stamped the flowers (with masking) and the foliage. After colouring them with pencils and sponging in the background, I removed the mask and drew a double border round it - the faux block element. The edges are distressed, and I popped it up on foam tape after adding a sentiment.
For the base layer, I stamped Geologic on white card after inking it with several different colours. I added a matching double line border, and made some circle accents with punched circles coloured in the flower colours and slightly shaped. For the bow, I tied the bow and then pulled a thread in each end to gather it up. A drop of Glossy Accents on the back keeps the gathered thread secure. And to finish, I added some Liquid Pearl accents.

Oh, Sabrina, this is gorgeous! I have been looking carefully at it and seeing all the beautiful details of it! The faux-tile technique is fascinating and has got my mind in gear - I like that. And your "framing" is wonderful with the double lines. And wow, what a great background with the Liquid Pearls added - only to be outdone by the beautifully arranged seam binding! A really gorgeous card! Hugs, sweet friend!

The liquid pearls caught my eye right away. I love the bg that you created...it looks amazing. The flower panel is so pretty. What a great idea for the gathered bow. Another Sabrina card for my pinterest board.
