As soon as I saw the stamp I’ve used in the main image of this card I just knew I had to have it.  Something about the botanical type stamps that I totally love – probably because the stamps are great used on their own or as part of collage style stamping.

Usually I colour flowers in reds but I simply adore cards with blue flowers and I thought this particular image would look great in blue so that was my inspiration to get this card started.  To make this card I stamped the flower image with StazOn on Vanilla cardstock then I stamped over the top of it with the Weathered background stamp and So Saffron.  On top of that I stamped the En Francais background stamp very lightly with Old Olive.  After taking care of the background I coloured in the flowers using Baja Breeze inkpad with an Aquapainter.  The edges of the cardstock were distressed using Stampin’ Up!’s Cutter Kit and then sponged with some So Saffron ink to give it some warmth.
