Blossom and Grow

Morning.  Today's card was made using new stamps from Penny Black and Distress ink.  I decided to make a monochromatic card inspired by all the shades of green growing in my garden.

I began by inking up my large background stamp called Floral Tapestry with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress inks, sprayed with water to blend and stamped.  I wanted to add extra depth to the background so I inked up my embossing folder with more Peeled Paint, sprayed with water and touched my panel onto the wet ink.  You can see a faint hexagon impression in the background.

The oval panel was next.  I cut the oval using a Spellbinders Oval Die and stamped the flowers and sentiment from the Friendship Flowers set.  The oval looked too plain so I pierced around the outside of the oval then mounted it to my card front using pop dots.
