SOTW - Wrapped Bouquet

One more card with this set, and then it's on to new things! I used a Mossy Meadow card base and stamped the "newsprint" all over the front with matching ink. The Ornate Layers die was cut in Soft Sea Foam.

The bouquet was also stamped in Mossy Meadow and colored with Stampin' Blends. (I used the dark Soft Sea Foam Blends to color the background around the bouquet so the white flowers would show up.)

The bouquet wrapper was stamped in Smoky Slate on both sides so the folded-back part also showed the newsprint. A Linen Thread bow and a few Pearl Basic Jewels finished it off.

SOTW - Wrapped Bouquet (and a heads-up)

Here's another card made with the Wrapped Bouquet bundle, and a cautionary tale, LOL. First of all, I have to say I love making backgrounds with the Blending Brushes and decorative masks. So easy, and such a wow factor! And there will be new masks in the new catty! However (and here comes the heads-up), it's always a good idea to thoroughly clean your masks before using them again.

That background was supposed to be Fresh Freesia to match the flowers. Apparently I used Rococo Rose last time and forgot to clean the mask afterward, resulting in the background you see here. Not exactly the look I was going for, but it still looked good, so I ran with it.

Look closely and you'll see it.

And now for the second heads-up. I try to be a shining example for y'all, but sometimes end up being a horrible warning instead. *snort* When coloring embellishments with Stampin' Blends, some things (like the twine) take WAAAAY longer to dry than others. So make sure your twine is thoroughly dry before using it on your card, or you'll end up adding color where you didn't intend.
