I usually have a really hard time with monochromatic cards, but this one came together really easily.  One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is how easy it is to coordinate products, because they’ve already done all the work.

This uses the new Wildflower Meadow background stamp.  It has a coordinating embossing folder (also called Wildflower Meadow) – and, of course, you can buy both in a bundle and save 15%. I suggest the wood mount stamp/bundle, because it always lines up with the embossing folder.  Sometimes clear mount stamps can bend a bit if you’re not careful putting them on the clear block.  I inked the stamp with Bermuda Bay ink, then sponged a little Island Indigo along some of the edges of flowers, then embossed it and cut it out with the new Deco Labels Collection framelits.

I love that we have core’dinations card stock in all colors now.  That’s a little sanded strip of Island Indigo core’dinations behind the stamped image and layered over the Quatrefancy specialty designer series paper.  I added a little Dazzling Details to the flowers and bird’s eye to give it a little sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by Stamping with Buffy.  Tomorrow night will start our latest blog hop, so be sure to check in!  Have a wonderful day.
