Spellbinders Rosy Summer Flowers

Hi Everybody,

Today's card is using one of the new dies from Spellbinders and this one is called Rosy Summer Flowers from the Good Vibes Collection by Stephanie Low

For the background I have blended three different shades of green and then stencilled over the top with white ink.

This gives a really cool and subtle look to the card and makes the white of the flowers stand out more.

It was a really quick and simple card to make and the black sentiment adds drama to the front. 

I added the long stamped sentiment underneath with foam tape and that is from the Crafti Potential Words dies

More tomorrow ...
