On My Mind

The Grow with Love bundle was one that I initially thought I would not use so I ignored it for a while, but as with many other products, I saw lots of great samples created with it and decided to try it.


I used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and Copper Clay card stock for the background. On the next layer is a die cut that was stamped first and then I used Pool Party ink and a Blending Brush to add some color before popping up the leaves. 
The sentiment is stamped on a die cut made with the Stylish Shapes dies and the ribbon accents are Basic Beige ribbon and a piece from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.
