mim #106 - two toned stamped flower

This week's Make It Monday over at Papertrey is all about two-toned stamping.  It gives such a pretty effect especially on flowers.  I was inspired by Melissa to create more of a vintage-looking, shabby chic-ish card by using more muted colours.  Here is my card.



I used Papertrey's Rosie Posie, Turning a New Leaf and Text Style background sets, cardstock (kraft and soft stone) and inks (kraft, fine linen, melon berry, hibiscus burst).  The flourish is from MFT. 

Here is a side view of the card.  I did not adhere the flourish completely to give it some dimension.  I also did some masking before stamping my text background.  I also did not yet put a sentiment... thinking to wait until I need to use the card.


Thanks for stopping by!  By the way, we are giving away some pretty awesome coffee cozies care of Craftmate Virna.  Check it out here for a chance to win.  Open to all!
