I just love making my own background paper.  The stamp set Bloom With Hope is full of these delicate lines that are just beautiful.  The flower I used is only one of many.  If you love flowers, well, this is a great set for you.

I chose not to use a sentiment with this card.  There are several in the set from birthday to sympathy, but I left it ready for anything.  I was just in the mood for sunflowers, and this is what I came up with.

I did a lot of stamping on the background paper, but none of the images were at full strength.  Stamping off is the secret here.  Just play a bit and it will be wonderful.

I stamped my main flower in Hello Honey and colored it with my Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.  Yup, there are many colors that will work and not bleed, not just the Momento ink.  Another experiment for you.  Although, I do think that Stampin’Up! did provide a list of compatible inks at one time.  I will have to look.

I added some bling and colored them in with Crumb Cake Blendabilities.  That helped my sunflower concept come around.  I cut out my image using the rounded square shape from the Apothecary Accents Framelits set.  Love that one!

Have a creative day!
