I got this crazy idea to use lots of fleur-de-lis designs on my Mojo Monday entry card this week. I stamped, heat embossed and die cut this magnificent stylized lily to create a very mailable encouragement card for my nephew in Belgium. Stamping the background in VersaMark ink (to be clear embossed later) was a little bit tricky, because the Bountiful Backgrounds stamp only contains four rows of images and I had to stamp it several times. I sponged Frayed Burlap distress ink onto the Symbology die-cut and added Crystal Effects after I had adhered it to the card.
Thanks for stopping by!
