Large Blossom

Yes, this is my second post today, I had an opportunity to quickly make this card and thought I would post it too.  I really like this "Large Blossom" cling stamp by Hero Arts but I have to say that I struggle with how to use it in a different manner because it is sort of self-framed, so in my opinion, basically you need to change the colour ink you use and paper and sentiment.  But of course, I will be proved wrong!

Here is my best shot at trying to use it slightly differently:

Paper: Hero Arts notecard; Kraft (PTI); Neenah; Music sheet (Jacqueline)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Punch Chalk Ink (Hero Arts); Antique Linen DI
Stamps: Hero Arts (CG271; CL488)

After stamping the first image with Punch chalk ink I matted it on some kraft cardstock.  I then stamped a portion of it on another piece of Neenah cardstock and cut out just the one flower at the top.  I inked that flower with some Antique Linen distress ink and partly adhered it back onto the original image, making the three top petals pop up with some dimensional squares.

I used a torn strip of a beautiful music sheet that my friend Jacqueline had sent me some time ago, (thank you so much Jacqueline, I am thrilled that I eventually found a place for it), and I adhered a strip of punch notecard on top of that with a sentiment strip in kraft.

I liked how this turned out, I hope you do to!
