I ended up with 2 tags on my card, purely coincidental.  You're probably wondering what that means?  I had the bigger elements planned out, but it wasn't until I was working on what I wanted to put on my big tag that I was inspired to add the mini tag.  I love it when a card comes together!

Inspired Stamps Flowers

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for some more Inspired Stamps inspiration.  Today the DT are sharing flowers, and just in time too, we've had quite a bit of snow the last few days and I was so looking forward to enjoying the first flowers of Spring.   Since that's not going to happen anytime soon, I'll just enjoy the ones shared by the DT.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
 I used the Flowers stamp set for both the flowers and verse.  I embossed the flowers onto vellum using white embossing powder.  I coloured on the back with Copic markers.

I stamped the same flower on the inside and used one of the sentiments that comes with the set.

Copics Used:
Purple - V15, V17
Pink - R83, R85
