Brick Wall Flowers

Hi!  Here's a card I made using the gorgeous inspiration card at Muse as well as the tic-tac-toe challenge at Just Us Girls.  I made a card using the center vertical row (die-cuts, stamps and flowers).

I had pondered for a few days how I could take Jenni's gorgeous card at Muse and make it mine.  In the end, I came up with this and I quite like it.

From Jenni's card, I took the layout, the white on black sentiment, the florals and the color down the left hand side of the center panel.

I colored some white embossing paste using Melon ink but deliberately didn't mix it perfectly, so that some of the bricks are darker than others.  I used MFT's English Brick Wall stencil, which has the perfect size bricks for cards.  I layered that onto another white panel and used foam tape to adhere it to a white card base.  The flowers and jug were stamped using various SSS inks and die-cut using the matching dies.

The sentiment banner was stamped in black and when it was dry, I white embossed the sentiment, curving the stamps slightly to follow the lines of the banner.  All of the flowers were painted with Wink of Stella.

Thanks for visiting.
