Wood and Flower Card #1

When I pulled out the flower stamp set, I also pulled out a background that I have never used. Yup, I have a wood plank 6 x 6 that has never been inked. I inked it up using Stampin' Up Early Espresso. I had color matched recollections cardstock to Stampin' Up's Tip Top Taupe.

I knew I wanted the bottom half of the card wood. I used Stampin' Up Island Indigo for the flowers and Tip Top Taupe for the leaves and stems. For the ribbon I chose Copic Sketch BG18.

I liked using the wood background as a thin mat around the white focal image. I applied small rhinestones on the flowers and finished the card off with a sentiment from Penny Black's Snippets. 

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Touchy Feely (rhinestones and ribbon)
• DL.art June Linky Challenge
• Crafty Creations Challenges #343 Anything Goes
