Some One Special

For that someone special and CTMH. Over at Heart2Heart there is yet another challenge and this week it is a sketch challenge.

Here's the sketch

And here's my card.

 Here's a pic of the flower, stamped and not yet cut out.

Just layer your tissue paper and make about 10 - 12 layers, stamp the top one, add a brad to hold the layers together, and cut out. It doesn't need to be perfect cuz no one will be able to tell. One layer at a time bring together towards the brad so the paper looks like it is standing straight up...it is. Continue to next layers and so on and so forth. The only color will be the top and maybe the second layer where the color ran through. You flower should look like a wad of paper with the brad 'legs' sticking out. Now take your fingers and gently open the layers, but not all the way. Your inked layer(s) will be still standing up and covering your brad. Now take your ink pad or sponge and ink up the rest of the edges. I can not remember where I saw this, this was not my idea. If I find the blog where I saw it, I will post it here. I used three CTMH stamp sets, and CTMH paper to get this card done. The tissue paper is recycled from a gift from my bday in January.
Editor's note: I found this tissue flower but not quite the same. I'll keep looking.

Thanks for coming by!
