For my card I used the Hero Arts Big Flower stamp. I had an idea to use the stamp in a different way, but after doing a coule of test runs with my idea I knew it wouldn't work. The card layout is based on a Clean & Simple sketch. I stamped the flower using SU! Melon Mambo ink and then colored the center with SU! Pretty In Pink ink. The piece was matted with Melon Mambo cardstock and hot pink rhinestones were added to the card to finish it off. The sentiment from the PTI set Year of Flowers Larkspurs was stamped in Pretty in Pink.
Thanks for taking a peek... have a wonderful day!
