Paper Wings Productions: where flowers bloom...

Hey guys! I'm sharing a fun spring card today over on the Paper Wings Productions blog. I haven't played with my distress inks in a while so I got those out today. I used the Mini Flowers rubber stamp set to make my background. I stamped the flowers with Versamark and heat embossed them. Then I used four different distress inks to color my background and make my heat embossed flowers stand out.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Flower red rubber stamp set and heat embossed it with fine gold embossing powder. I wanted 'hope' to stand out more than the rest of the sentiment, so I used some washi and masked off the 'hope' first. Next I masked off the other words and stamped 'hope.' I used a sparkly gold embossing powder on 'hope.'

So my finished card...

Thanks for stopping by!
