Today's card........
Can't believe it's heading towards the end of February...where did that go?
I have been inspired by several challenges to make this card......
I have used distress inks and stamped using the embossing folder for the background.
This technique was inspired by the challenge over at Happy Little Stampers - CAS challenge.
I have used a stencil for the black flower stems, which has been embossed with
black embossing paste. The flowers have been hi-lighted with glossy accents.
I like the matt and shiny look, so I have left the leaves and stems matt.
The sentiment is a HLS stamp and the tiny hearts have been hi-lighted with red glossy accents.
I loved trying this new technique and now have lots in my stash for future use.
