PTI blog hop - floral

Is there a better theme than that?  I don't think so!


I started by stamping BB: textstyle in antique linen distress ink.  Then I diecut blooms and played around with placement.  The flowers were sponged with some barn door distress ink (I would have rather a pink tone but don't own any - hmmm... should remedy that ;)  Then I stamped the leaves, attached the flower heads and turned them up a bit, and added faux stitching. 


My first try with seam binding - I scrunched a little too much I think.  A button and Tiny tag to finish. 

Am SO very excited for this hop.  I can't wait to see everyone's creations!


Supplies; Stamps - BB: Textstyle, Turning a new leaf, Tiny tags, Postmarks (flourish on tag), Paper - kraft, cream, sweet blush, Other - Beautiful blooms #3 die, Tiny tags die, kraft seam binding (thank you Mary!!), sping moss button, distress inks, half pearls.
