Best Wishes

This card uses the paper from the ISC August Kit and the new stamp sheet Bush Flowers, Australian. One of the things the I love about the stamp sheet is it has three sizes of the Bush flower which makes it perfect to layer. So for this card I wanted to try something different...

You Did It:

Can you tell what is different? I actually stamped the flowers on old, used yellow tissue paper (by used a mean it was from gift... not used in other ways... snort...). Then I cut them out, wrinkled them just a little bit and layered them. I used distressed stickles as the flower center.

Tip - when stamping on tissue paper you will need to find an ink that will work for you and not run - I tried Distressed Inks and Ranger Archival ink - these both run on the tissue paper. I found that the Versafine worked great. So play with your inks - the tissue paper is FREE and your fingers are just screamin to get inky!

Have a great Saturday!

This is so pretty, Kat! Love the distressed look and the paper flowers. I'm laughing about the ink and the tissue paper. I went thru that whole bit the first time I stamped on tissue. Any of the Brilliance inks work perfectly, too.
