Be Your Beautiful Self - Field Notes

It's always good advice to just "Be Your Wonderful Self." I made this card using the new Field Notes and Flower Shop stamps from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.

The background piece was made by stamping most of the stamps on the Field Notes set onto a piece of Distress Mixed Media Heavystock in Distress Archival Hickory Smoke. When the archival ink was dry, I colored it by spraying the paper with Tattered Rose and Bundled Sage Distress Spray Stain. This is the same go-to technique that I showed on this card.

For the focal point, I stamped the rose from the Flower Shop stamps and I stamped it using Distress Inks in two colors, Tattered Rose and Bundled Sage. Then I the corresponding colors to give it a little shine and a little texture.

Once they were embossed, I used a blending tool and added a little more of each color to any of the areas left white. Then I fussycut the flower out.

I cut a thin piece of vellum to fit down the middle of the card. at the bottom I used one of the Ornate Trims dies and stamped it in clear embossing ink, then embossed it with Tattered Rose Embossing Glaze. I love how light and pretty it turned out. I sewed it onto the top of the card so it could be lifted to reveal the lovely stamped collage underneath. I also popped up the the flower, and sentiment from the Tiny Text stamps on the vellum, and that's it.
