The first card I created was using the FABULOUS background stamp from Market Street Stamps: Sweet Lace. Just look at the details in this one background stamp! I am in love and this background will definitely get some major use in my cardmaking! My sentiment is from Comforting Florals. Here I've used some Blossom twine from The Twinery for a simple but effective wrap in place of the traditional bow.
For my second card I went a little more bold and colorful to get in more yummy colors of this awesome twine. Here I've used the set: So Happy from MSS and created my own little floral flower bed. I stamped the flowers and embellished the centers with tiny twine bows in Maraschino, Pink Sorbet, and Lemondrop.
I then wanted to point out my grass. I found it very easy to make my own grass out of the Honeydew twine when you place 1/8" Scor-tape down and then start forming your grass. For good measure, I placed a few horizontal strips over my grass again using Scor-tape.
