The photo challenge over at the Just Us Girls blog this week made me think of a different way to use this floral stamp! To give the look of the hanging vines, I just flipped the image and had it come down from the top of the card. In addition, I didn't add any color to the flowers - just left everything green, giving the impression of the greenery shown in the photo.I actually used one of the new colors from Close to My Heart - Seabrook - giving you a sneak peak of what is coming on August 1!
I used multiple layers of the ink to get the depth of
color I wanted, the true side of the cardstock, and die cut the Seabrook
glitter paper for the sentiment. That's harbour cardstock backing it!
The stamp is called "Language of Flowers" (#C1945) from CTMH.
You can see some of those details a little better in this close-up photo.
It's always fun to play with new colors for the first time - and I think this turned out well! Love that they all coordinate.
I had so much fun with the single color usage, that I broke out another new ink pad - Periwinkle - and made a slimline card, rotating the floral image so it went both ways on the card. The blank area was easy to cover with the circle sentiment.I love challenge blogs, and was so glad for the inspiration provided by Just Us Girls this week.

Gorgeous! I love how you used that image to create the cascading effect like the greenery in the photo and I love that shade of green. Nice touch with the glittery sentiment, too. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
