You Are Beautiful...

Hi all and welcome to day 2 of MFT Teaser Time!  Today, we are showcasing the soon-to-be-released Inspired by Flowers 3.   It's the third in the "Inspired by Flowers" series, each featuring the flower of the month for that quarter.


I was inspired to drag out an acetate overlay I have been hoarding saving for years now!  LOL  It was all florally-themed, so I thought it was the perfect choice to pair with this set!



I stamped the flower on kraft card stock and then colored it with Copic markers.  I cut the acetate overlay (Michael's) to match and then stitched it on.  I warned you that I would be doing the "sentiment on the Mini Ticket Strip" strip again, and here it is...



I used the newish File Tab Die-namics to stamp the first line of the sentiment on.  I make no excuses for cutting up my sentiments.  I butcher them as I see fit.  LOL  It's easier for me than selective inking.  




Here are the Die-namics I used on this card:

Jody - I love how brave you are!!! I have cut one sentiment apart and it was painful!! LOL! But it is such a great way to get more from your stamps. I'm loving that new gorgeous flower and I can totally understand why you're hoarding ahem...I mean collecting the acrylic overlay sheets. Just beautiful!!
