As soon as I read Roxi's instructions, I knew I would head for MME flower papers...if you visit my gallery, you will find many takes on this focal. I love flowers,especially the ones of my memory, my boys taking shears out to cut a bouquet from my garden...saying, 'Here, Mom'...
I stamped Linograph onto my soft sky base with matching ink. The striped layer is MME heartstrings from the Adore Valentine group, I stamped it with an Impress distressed floral BG in soft sky and CB'ed it with the spots folder. The sentiment strip is the reverse solid from the Bliss papers of '07. My sentiment was made by Dynami†e Rubber Stamps. The ribbon is an uptown ric-rak...! But the belle of the ball is the huge flower cut from MME Bliss, 'Darling Daughter'. I stamped the first half of my sentiment among the petals, embossed in clear and popped!
Thanks for looking and hope you get a chance to make art today!
