I started by creating some background paper using distress inks and a small gel printing plate and a number of stencils. I then die cut the flowers from the background paper, kraft card and white card. I created the bunch of flowers and tied them with a bit of twine. Die cut a couple of tags and stamped the sentiment on one of them.
I'm entering the following challenges:
"Less is More" #331 Colour Challenge
TIME OUT #84 - Flowers and Friends make life a garden
Enjoy!
Pretty floral card, Elaine. Love your flower bunch. So creative to use distress inks to make your own background paper. Thank you for joining us this week at Less is More.

ReplyDeleteLovely to see someone using a gelli plate Elaine and the bouquet of beautiful flowers you made from your hand made paper is dreamy.
