TE Blast From the Past Blog Hop

It's time again for the Blast From the Past Blog Hop at Taylored Expressions!  This month's theme is a favorite for me. . .Clean and Simple!  For my card, I used the Discover Your Wings set along with the Take Note 3 Die. 

I die cut on a scrap piece of paper and then attached that paper to the paper I actually wanted to stamp on to form a mask.  I sponged a background using Angel Pink, Cantaloupe and Bamboo Leaves ink.  Then I stamped the flower image.  After all of the stamping and sponging was finished, I removed the mask and stamped my sentiment.  I trimmed the focal piece and "roughed up" the edges a bit with my scissors to create a distinction between the focal piece and card base since they were both the same color.  I mounted the focal piece onto the card base with foam tape.  I also die cut a tiny butterfly out of vellum using the Butterflies Die set and added some Stardust Stickles for some sparkle!
