Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop

Today, I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. 

This month's challenge is this lovely inspirational photo:

It totally had me wishing that I had some pear stamps! LOL!

Instead, I decided to focus on the arrangement and the flowers 

and I created this:

I diecut my tag using Tag Sale #7, which I inked with a blending tool and sweet blush ink.

I stamped the Songbirds leaves onto the tag and onto my background,

first in a lighter shade of green and then again, with a darker green that I sponged onto 

the ends of the leaves with my blending tool.

I stamped the Bloomers flowers onto their coordinating diecuts in sweet blush,

with gold centres.

I stamped the sentiment (from KIS: Belated Birthday) and heat embossed it

in white on a strip of black cardstock.

I'm also linking this up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thanks for looking!
