This is part 1 of a 8 part series featuring the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set that I will be posting over the next week or so.   

-The bottom mat for this card was cut from Shaded Spruce CS.

-The top mat was cut from Whisper White CS and then lightly sponged with a Blending Brush as shown using Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce Inks. 

-I cut a mask of the flower out of Post-It tape and placed it where I planned to put the cut flower so that I could position the feathers, branches and sentiments properly as they were stamped directly onto the top mat using Shaded Spruce Ink.

-The flower was stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White CS using Memento Ink and the colored using Cherry Cobbler and Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend Sets. It was fussy cut.

-These next 2 cards were made similarly.

-The bottom mat was cut from Magenta Madness Ink.

-The top mat from Whisper White CS and sponged with the Magenta Madness Ink.

-And then used Magenta Madness Ink for the sentiment which is from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set.

-The flower was colored with Magenta Madness and Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends.

-For this card the bottom mat  was cut from Mossy Meadow CS.

-The top mat from Pear Pizzazz CS and then stamped with the lard DryBrush Stamp using Pear Pizzazz Ink.
