POPPED FLOWERS

I actually have this stamp so will be able to do this card at home and use different colors for the flowers and paper if I want.  The off white layer had already ben embossed so it was a little hard to stamp the designs on the paper, but we decided we kind of liked the look of it.  The flowers were stamped separately on off white paper - color being applied to the stamp with SU markers.  

We cut a piece of off white card stock which was slightly smaller than the inside of the card and stamped just a small corner of the grass.  It made a nice "finish" to the inside of the card too.

Thank you for stopping by!

Don't know why I never thought of this, - I love paper piecing....is this the "inspired by nature" SU set? with the grass on one side, and cornflowers on the other? so you stamped just the tops of the grass side right over the embossing, and then stamped the flowers, and then attached the flower heads that you'd done separately.....absolutely gorgous, thanks for the great tut!!

You absolutely have the best ideas! I love the paper piercing and the background is PERFECT!

My card was modeled after one I saw on Pinterest.  That card used a die with larger trees.  This die is from Penny Black.  I liked the large...
