Thinking of You W/ Wildflowers

OMW!  I never intended to post so few and far between.  I have been so busy working and working out at the gym the past couple months.  Well now it is spring and the time came to plant all my planters and flower beds.  The list is never ending and the amount of time in the day is definitely not getting longer.  I am embarrassed to say that I still had my stamps and dies from the last MFT release sitting on my craft table, then came along the May release and both were sitting there.  Fast forward to Sunday, I was out shopping for my flowers and just HAD to stop at Archiver's.  They have the new MME papers!  Guess what?  I just HAD to have them.  :)  Ha!

The fun papers look awesome with my new Blueprints 3 die-namics dies and LJD Wildflowers stamps and matching dies.  After I die cut and stamped the flowers, I decided to bunch them up and tie some of that amazing hemp cord around the stems.

                        (YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PHOTOS TO MAKE THEM LARGER)
I used the beautiful new Old Tea Rose stamp set for this card.  I first stamped my image on a piece of printer paper and fussy cut all along the image to make a mask.  I then stamped my rose again on my Flourishes Classic White cardstock then put the mask on top and stamped the script background from Sweet Nature, then I pulled the mask off and colored my rose.  I took my Tim Holtz distress inks and smeared the pads on my craft mat and added some water with a paint brush and flicked it all over my image.
