I did some masking for my card. I stamped the flower on a piece of scrap paper and then cut it out. I stamped the first flower on my card and then placed my cutout over the flower I just stamped and stamped next to it but a little over the other one. I love how it looks so dimentional.
The saying is from the January stamp set.

I cut the Parisian Accents up and hooked them onto the oval.
Love how it turned out.
