Perfectly Rustic Inspiration

Perfectly Rustics brand new challenge today is an inspiration challenge. What I saw was masses of flowers in reds,blues, purples and yellows, so I decided to do a simple one layer card with lots of flowers.

Card Tip:

I was missing the right ink colour in distress inks to get the colour I wanted, so I mixed a light distress ink with a dark memento ink and got the perfect colour. Don't be afraid to mix your inks even if they are different types.

Card Ingredients:

Card Stock:

white card stock for the base (A4 sheet cut in half)

Stamps:

Ink:
