Happy Monday to you! Today, I have a card to share that was made with a beautiful new wildflower background stamp set illustrated by my sweet fellow Texan friend, Melanie Muenchinger! I would venture to say that if anyone could illustrate a gorgeous wildflower stamp, it would be Melanie since she lives near the beautiful Texas Hill Country that is famous for its wildflowers!
I stamped the background with Jet Black Archival ink onto Gina K's Pure Luxury White heavy base weight cardstock and then colored the white negative spaces of the wildflower images with Copic markers RV23, RV09, YG03 & YG63:

Next, I framed the image with a Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame die, cut from a Raspberry Memory Box notecard. Then I put down a strip of Copic's new X-Press It Double-Sided High Tack Tape along the bottom edge of the scalloped frame and ruffled up and stuck some green ribbon to it -- so quick and easy to do, with big impact!
A Spellbinders Tags Trio die was used to die cut the "Thank You" sentiment from this stamp (there are ten great sentiments in this set from which to choose!), and then I sponged Memento Rose Bud ink onto the sentiment while the cardstock was still in the die. Lime Green Stickles accent the flower centers.
Thanks for stopping by! If you'd like to see more great samples with Melanie's new stamp set, you can visit her blog, Hands, Head and Heart (she has a great tip sheet for this set there!) or view the Wild At Heart gallery for this stamp set at Stamp TV!
