I wanted to create a swag of flowers to frame the sentiment so I went searching for something to use as filler to add shape and dimension to the spray of roses. I settled on one of the tiny layers of greenery from the Birch Trees Multi Step Clear Stamps to create a pale lavender "baby's breath" type flower and was very pleased with the results. I inked it up with Memento Lulu Lavender and then used an SU Old Olive marked to color the part of the stamp that is a tree branch.
I then went looking for one more element to add more color and texture. For the magenta berries, I used a stem from Shamrocks & Clover Multi Step Clear Stamps and the center from the small blossom in Enchanted Dogwoods Multi Step Clear Stamps. After stamping the center in Memento Lilac Posies, I then used a pencil eraser inked with Lilac Posies and stamped off once before stamping again on top of the berries! (I am sure you can pick out the one that I forgot to stamp off!)
I finished the card by stenciling a delicate doily by Prima with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide.The sentiment was then stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, and I finished the card with a purple bow on the top corner.
