Back to work...I've had the last 6 days off!
Here's a clean & graphic card:
The bloom & sentiment are from the Stampin' Up Flower Patch set. It's photopolymer and has coordinating dies. Have I mentioned my new love for Stampin' Up?
I stamped the bloom with Distress Ink/Crushed Olive and then used a wet paintbrush to give it a washed look. The sentiment has been stamped with Fresh Ink Charcoal. Love using that color so it doesn't overwhelm the design like a black ink would.
cardstock: strathmore stamps: stampin' up flower patch ink: crushed olive distress ink, fresh ink charcoal other: paper accents vellum, lawn fawn journal card die, misc washi
See that washi? I picked up a grab bag from a local Scrapbooking shop that is moving. Isn't it a perfect match to the Crushed Olive?
I was inspired by
I posted my card earlier on Flickr.

The washi is an absolute perfect match. Love the soft texture on your card Amy.
Gorgeous Amy. I love the sentiment on the vellum.
OMGosh, could that washi match that ink color any better? This is gorgeous, Amy! Such a soft and elegant design. I love that flower set. I got to play with it recently at a friend's house... :) Stampin'Up has always been a personal weakness of mine!

swoon… this stamp reminded me of a WMS set I have… love the vellum sentiment.
So pretty and thank you for sharing with us at the Card Concept!
Oh wow!! Gorgeous!! Love the layers and stunning floral focal point!
What a great card Amy! It looks just like the inspiration piece!
Flower Patch is at the top of my wishlist and I still don't own it. The set with its dies is fairly expensive and I keep convincing myself that I need a multitude of other things instead of this one set. But now I'm looking at your card and regretting that I don't own it. I've only ever seen it used bright and cute - but you have used it so elegantly.
Beautiful...and what a 'matching' score with the washi! Stunning!
