a note of thanks

I started by stamping my floral arrangement with black. Then I used Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Ink Set to stamp solid layers of flowers and Tropical Forest Crisp Dye Ink Set for green elements. My last step was to add a strip of cardstock with my sentiment stamped in black.

I stamped my butterfly from Dovetail Butterflies Stamp Set with Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, used watercolours to colour it in and cut it out using a coordinating die. To finish the card I added sentiment from Thinking of You Stamp Set

For my next card I used Monstera Leaves 3D Embossing Folder and I inked it with green inks to create a letterpress look.
