Life is a succession of moments


It's hard to believe but another Papertrey release has come and gone.  This was such a fun release.  Today, I have one of my cards that I created using Lisa Johnson's new set, Life.  I love those flower silhouettes.  This set is perfect for clean and simple cards when you want something classic.

I stamped this flower image randomly first using plum pudding ink on kraft cardstock and then again using lavender moon ink.  I sponged the edges using antique linen distress ink and dark chocolate ink.  I stamped the sentiment, added some white ink to the flowers (using a white signo pen), wrapped some ribbon around the corners, and adhered the piece to my card base.  Last, I punched a butterfly from the guide lines paper using a martha stewart punch and added it to my card.

Happy Stamping!

Niki

Wow Niki! This is absolutely stunning! At first glance I had thought that you had embossed only a tiny part of each flower, lol! The white pen is a great trick, wonderful job!
