And here is the card I created:
As usual, I started my card with a sketch and went from there. This is the first time I have used this flower stamp; it's so pretty! I wanted to have a little "fun" (meaning, make a lot of extra work for myself), so I stamped the image and created a mask so I could stamp the Marquee frame over it. After I colored the image, it seemed to need something else, so I fussy cut around the image inside the frame. I loved being able to see the patterned paper behind the image, but it was a little too bold, so I added a piece of vellum to the back of the frame before I popped it up with foam tape. I finished everything off with some punched butterflies and white pearls.
