I am so exited to finally put ink to paper with W+9's Unforgettable, and Fresh Cut Florals!  I've had Fresh Cut Flowers for a while, but only played around with it; I never made a card.  Guess what came in the mail....The MISTI!  

The sun was going down, and the pink card base was glowing onto the white background, so pictures got a little strange.  Look at the difference in depth between these two!  I used a wide variety of W+9, SSS, and HA shadow inks.  I die cut Fresh Cut Florals first and then stamped them using the MISTI.  I put the little pieces on a sticky note so they wouldn't move, and then placed the stamp on them, shut the door, opened it, inked the stamp and closed the door.  It was a lot of fun!  I cut an oval out of a piece of white cs and embossed it with a -- folder.  The background was ink blended with Broken China and Mowed Lawn.  I cut out the little Ellie and cut further into her trunk in order for her to hold her little flower.  Ellie and her flower were colored with Copics.  I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiment which is also from Fresh Cut Flowers.  The card base is PTI's Raspberry Fizz.

This card was inspired by the following challenges:
W+9's Throwback Thursday #2 - Very Vintage Florals.  Fresh Cut Florals are my oldest W+9 stamps and I was inspired by the first and second card examples.

Fusion Card Challenge (Cupcake Inspiration).  My last two posts had cupcakes on them so today I just used the sketch.

Darnell's NBUS Challenge #4.  I love Darnell's challenge, it makes me so happy to use NBUS.  Today it is MISTI and W+9's Unforgettable.


Thanks for stopping by for a visit!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!
