Stop and Smell the Flowers Take 1

In the depths of Winter, I can't wait to see the flowers bloom.  Here is the first sightings of said flowers.  : )

Card challenge - use a specific paper and accessories - go!  I created three different cards using the challenge parameters.  This is one of them. : )  Each card is different, and I can honestly say I don't have a favorite.

The floral paper and the brads were used to fulfill the challenge.  The cool thing about our background and texture paper is that it's reversible.  So, yes, the bright yellow paper is the backside of the floral paper!

The design is pattern #27 from Make it From Your Heart volume 1.  "Stop & Smell the FLOWERS" was stamped in Sapphire ink on White Daisy Cardstock.  The leaves behind the Candy Apple and Lemonade flowers are second generation Clover inked.  The flowers were hand cut (you can purchase the set with coordinating Thin Cuts for the flowers - Z4668).

For all the variations, the outer two flowers are adhered directly to the card.  The middle flower (second generation Candy Apple) is raised with 3D thin foam.

Technique: Second Generation.  Ink your stamp in the desired color.  Stamp onto scratch paper, and without reinking the stamp, stamp a second time.  Depending on the ink color, you might be able to get a third generation, and even a fourth generation image (darker colors such as Sapphire are good for this).
