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!
