I felt like a little CAS today so I got out my PTI Beautiful Blooms II set and dies to make a sweet little card. I love this set 'cause I can use those big honkin' buttons. Well, that's just one reason :) First, I stamped an image from Turning a New Leaf on a Kraft card base with Ripe Avocado ink. I actually added an extra set of leaves to sort of fill in that upper left corner a bit since it look nekkid without it ;-) Then I wrapped a Melon Berry grosgrain ribbon around. I stamped the sentiment from Signature Greetings on a piece of Rustic White card stock with Dark Chocolate ink and cut/embossed it with a Labels Eight Nestabilities die. I left it in the die and sponged pretty heavily with Melon Berry ink. I die cut two flower shapes and stamped them with Melon Berry and Dark Chocolate ink and tied them together with a big ole' Melon Berry button, then added two leaves from Beautiful Blooms II that I stamped and cut out. I'm liking it :)
Thanks for dropping in today! Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!
