Inspired by Nature


Good morning!  Here is my card for the Saturday Sketch Challenge #185 on stamping411.  A week or two ago I started cutting out these flowers for a different card.  I ended up going in a bit of a different direction with that card.  So...not wanting to waste any flowers, I decided to use them for this challenge instead. 







Card stock:  Real Red, Pumpkin Pie & Very Vanilla
Classic Stampin' Pad:  Real Red, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive
Punches:  Word Window & Modern Label
Taffeta Ribbon:  Real Red


Thanks for looking!  Have a great day!

  1. This is absolutely striking.I love the colours you chose and the pop-up look. Just curious...how did you ink the flowers?

  2. Thank you! I used ink pads to ink the flowers. I would slide the ink pad over the flowers, then carefully slide another color just over the tips of the petals and the top of the flower. Hope that makes sense.
