 The Bloom die is so playful. I love the little flowers that make the o's and the leaf tips on the letters. The die was run though on the floral paper. I  ran the die again with black and then white paper. The letters were then inlayed back into the negative space.


 The flowers were stamped and fussy cut. I used the matching Flower Pops Die Set to make the white borders around the flowers. 
Buy the stamp and die set together here and save!


The background was created by using Tim Holt tissue paper, distress inks, paints and Gesso. Perfect for the NEW Create die!

  32. Gad, Karen, why is it every time I visit your blog I end up wanting what you use!!! The bloom die is wonderful, especially how you used it! and now for those fussy cut flowers you used with the die set. I am in love with them too! I think you gave me an idea on what to do with some of my leftover IO CAC remnants!! Next, you are so right about the 'Create' die against your wonderfully created mixed media BG. Should be framed, lady!!
