Stamps (Hero Arts) Designer Woodgrain, Everyday Sayings & Large Flower Background
I started by embossing the Large Flower Background in white and cut around the outside of the image leaving a small border. Then I just cut around the flowers and leaves to my heart’s content! When I started making cards I didn’t have a craft shop anywhere near me. I needed a scissors to cut out images and came across a curved nail scissors in a local chemist and that’s what I use to this day.
After all that cutting I was left with a framed image of the flowers which I then watercoloured using dried marigold and shabby shutters distress inks. I applied walnut stain distress ink to a piece of white card and using the same ink stamped the woodgrain background. As the white border was around the image, I just adhered the border to the woodgrain background so the flowers are floating free. I only had to use one tiny foam dot to keep one flower in place. The sentiment is stamped with walnut stain distress ink.
Hope you are all having a brilliant weekend:)

I feel the same way about cutting, Heather! This is a masterpiece, my friend! Lovely pairing with the woodgrain!
You are so patient Heather, this must have taken ages, I must try the nail sissor trick!!
This card is so pretty and I love the flowers against the woodgrain background!
I agree with Lin - this is a cutting masterpiece, Heather! Reminds me of the snowflake frame I found in Hero Arts Silhouette catalog but you cut it by hand!! Just love the orange flowers over the deep brown woodgrain!

Wow, Heather! This is fantastic! Such gorgeous flowers against the woodgrain - they really do look like they're floating - so cool! I love to cut too - can be very soothing at times. Stunning card, my friend! :)

Beautiful design, Heather! I'm not so great with cutting so I reallly appreciate the work that went into it.
Hi Heather.
Sure hope you read these comments ;-) Need your help, please.
Through the wonders of the internet, I just found an old link to a card you made on - Thursday, August 25, 2011-Cute Fuzzies. This card was simply delicious, a denim masterpiece. (your current card is lovely to by the way)
Can you please tell me how you adhered the denim to the cardstock, so you could diecut and emboss it?
Thank you so very much, have a grand day!

Thanks so much everyone for the lovely comments, I really appreciate them:)
Trisha, I can't seem to see an email address for you so I hope you'll see my answer here. I adhered the denim to the cardstock using double sided sticky tape. Hope this is of help:)
Hi Heather
