Other ideas

These next two are made almost the same as the above one, but die cuts and punches were also used.

This blue card was stamped in Memento Paris Dusk, coloured in with blue Promarkers and distressed in Stormy Sky Distress Ink. Then mounted onto navy card, two narrow borders were made using the smaller stamps coloured in and distressed as above, mounted onto navy card. From navy card die cut two shadow flowers (Shapeabilities S5-066) and punched three small butterflies. Next add glitter glue to the butterflies.

The pink card was stamped  and edged in Memento Rhubarb Stalk, coloured in with pink Promarkers  and mounted first onto black then onto burgundy card. Next punch out three black and one burgundy small flowers,  die cut some black lace (Tim Holtz Vintage Lace Sizzix 657481) and cut two pieces of the ( Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers Sizzix 656640) in black and the other two in burgundy card. Finally add glitter glue to the centre of the flowers.
