This card background features a different True Love designer paper background, colored with a Blending Brush and the Mango Melody ink pad.  Leaves are colored with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers. 

I stamped the greeting and heart using my  Calypso Coral ink pad, a die cut from the Hippo & Friends Dies and stamps from the Lots of Hearts set.

Using Paper Snips, cut out the flowers and leaves you’d like to use on your card.  DESIGN TIP!!  use the cut out flowers at the edge of the paper to tuck below other full flowers so that you don’t waste that part of the paper design!!

Twine Tip!  I used the white Baker’s Twine from the Snail Mail twine combo pack, and colored it with my Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.  I bet you could also color it with the Blending Brush and the Mango ink pad!
