Spring Flowers ~ HSS435

Hey stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Photo Inspiration challenge for April.

I was drawn to the colorful floral wreath on the weathered blue barn wood background.

I started with a piece of Azure Afternoon, ran it through the emboss & cut machine with the Timber 3D folder.  Next, I took my white ink and brushed the whole pad across the raised woodgrain.  I added a bit of sponged Crumb Cake on there here and there to mimic the weathered wood.  I also distressed the edges to make it look more "weathered".

I stamped and cut a bunch of different flowers from Two Tone Flora stamps and die set and arranged them into a pretty bouquet.  

A linen thread bow and a few little brass butterflies as finishing touches and this card was done!
