Last week I was playing around with some new Penny Black stamps. This one is called Dreams of Love and I also purchased the matching die. I don't always by the die, but did this time around. Sometimes it just makes life easier.
I placed the stamp and Strathmore Mixed Media vellum surface paper in my Misti.. I used several distress inks to colour this. Once done, I used the matching die to cut it out.
Designer paper is by Glitz - french kiss -(this paper pack is very old). I used a die from Aliexpress for the white layer, then sponged some distress ink for a bit of shading.
To finish off I added a little tag (spellbinders), and stamped 'for you' from Simon Says Stamps - tiny words. The sentiment actually says 'just for you' I just masked off the 'just'. I then added a little wooded butterfly, which I sponged on some distress oxide ink and then used my wink of stella clear pen for a bit of shimmer.
I added some Tim Holtz distress clear rock candy glitter to the center of the flower, a couple of rhinestones and a pearl.
The flower really isn't that dark, it's much softer. The camera picked it this way and I had a hard time trying to adjust the colour to make it look like the actual image.
Well that's it for me for today, wishing you a fabulous day!

Wow, that's a big flower and it's gorgeous! Beautiful paper you used with it. I love the muted colors for a background, but just a hint of the flower color in the paper. So pretty! Very cute how you hung the little tag, too. All these little things make a big difference. Sometimes the pictures can be so frustrating. I frequently spend more time trying to get a decent picture than I spend creating the card. Just so you know... it looks fabulous from where I sit!
Well it's rain and more rain here! Fabulous card Pauline and so beautifully done!
So lovely. I love the softness the no line stamping adds. Hope all is well with you.
