Flourishes April Sneaks, Day Two

sneakday2_2012apr12wtmk

Welcome back to Day Two of Flourishes April Sneaks! Today we’re previewing Botanical Bookplates, Vol. 2. Like Botanical Bookplates, Vol. 1, this set coordinates with the Tailor-Made Classic Bookplate Template die, shown below.

Botanical Bookplates 2 Graphic

Bookplate Die Packaging Front

I decided to use the sweet little pansies for this card and I went with a purple color palette. I stamped the image on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with these Copic Collections:

Evergreen Collection:

Robin’s Egg Collection:

Tea Rose Collection:

Then I cut it out and popped it up on some foam dots. The sentiment was stamped on a
Tailor-Made Classic Tags Die and added to the bow. I’m also using some May Arts Crochet White lace under the ribbon.

This month’s 1, 2, 3 Create Kit is gorgeous and is available now!
