A Pressed Flower Thank You Using Swirly Frames

I love the Swirly Frames stamp set as the frames provide an outline for many images, such as the Pressed Flowers below.


The images were inked with Gorgeous Grape and Daffodil Delight and Mossy Meadow markers and stamped onto Whisper White which had been stamped with the rectangle swirly frame.  The frame itself was colored with a marker, then cut out and matted with Elegant Eggplant card stock.

Around the image I stamped dot stamps from the Timeless Texture stamp set using Highland Heather ink, and stamping off first.

On both sides of the stem, I punched a 1/8" hole using the hand held punch, inserted a 1/4" organza ribbon through it and tied it into a bow.

The sentiment was stamped inside a smaller square frame which was also cut out and the edges sponged. A small flower was stamped in the lower right corner.  This was adhered to the art piece and the card front using dimensionals only on one side.



The base card is Elegant Eggplant layered with Whisper White embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder with the edges sponged with Elegant eggplant ink.

A white paper doillie was added to the card front before adding the art piece with dimensionals.

Dazzling diamonds were added to the flower centers, and metallic  enamel shapes to the upper right and on the sentiment square as well.
