Crazy About Blossoms

Monochrome gives a peaceful look to a card.  Here is a pretty card using just two stamps, and a little embossing powder or glitter. 

 

The flower is from "Crazy About You" stamp set, and the leaf on the card base is the pretty, and very useful fern from "Butterfly Basics."

How to:

Start with a card base of Marina Mist card stock.
Stamp the leaf all over the base, making sure to have most of the image right around the edges. 
I used Versamark, but Marina Mist ink will give you the same look, or perhaps a little softer.

Cut your Whisper White cardstock to 3-3/4" x 5".
Stamp the zinnia with Pool Party ink.  Stamp in the corner, and then without re-inking, stamp again on another area of the card.  Do the same in the opposite corner.  Stamp a third zinnia on a piece of scrap Whisper White and punch out with the Flower Medallion punch.

Use a thin line of Dazzling Details, or Crystal Effects adhesive with Dazzling Diamonds glitter to add glitter to just the edges of the 3 dark zinnias.  Or, if you have a Versamark pen, trace around the flowers, sprinkle with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, and heat with your heating tool. Any of the three methods will work.

Tape the white panel onto the card base before proceding further.

Cut two lengths of the 5/8" Organza Whisper White ribbon, and criss-cross diagonally across the center of the card.  I snail-taped the top ends flat, but gave a little wave to the bottom ends by using a couple of glue dots to stick them to the card.

Stick the center flower onto the card with dimentionals, and add your pearls.
