Here is the HOP ROUTE......
On to my card......
I just love the smell of petunias!! They take a lot of WATER (my word)over the summer but sooo worth it! I can't wait to go to the greenhouse and get some pretty pink petunias to plant in my garden! Until then I will have just color them.
I stamped Rubbernecker's Petunias Sku:537-09 with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics. Die cut it with a Spellbinders Oval and sponged it with Memento Angel Pink while it was still in the die. I popped it up on a Spellbinders Beaded Oval that was sponged with with Angel Pink as well. I stamped a second petunia and cut on out and popped it up.
The background was created with the Faux Letter Press Technique by rubbing a Memento Angel Pink directly on the negative side of an embossing folder. I used one from Sizzix's Sugar and Starry Night set. What a beautiful background this technique creates!! A Recollections Pearl Flourish and some pink satin ribbon were added. I layered it on a white card stock mat and popped up on a pink card base.
Hope you are all having a happy day! Thanks for hopping by!
