MIM #106 & MFW

I am entering this Thinking of You card in two challenges today:

Moxie Fab World - Card Creations~Washi Tape Challenge 
Each day this week, Cath is challenging us to take the inspiration from this Paper Crafts Issue "Card Creations Volume 11" and create a paper crafted card based on the photos. On Monday we are to  incorporate washi tape (or decorative tape) on a card or project.   Now I have a nice little collection of washi tape and need to start using it :)  So here goes:

Not quite as innovative or interesting as some of the cards posted, but I'm trying ~ hope to get a few more cards done before the deadline on April 1st...cause I definitely need more practice!

The second Challenge for this card is:
Make It Monday #106 - Two Toned Stamped Flowers
Melissa Phillips' video shows how she created a pretty two toned effect on stamped flower images...again, I need more practice!  

PTI products used: Rosie Posie stamps and dies
I used two different green inks on the leaves and three colors (yellow, orange and terra cotta) on the flower blooms.

  6. Helen, these roses are wonderful. You gave them dimension with the technique. Need to try something with washi too. Have a stash that needs using as well.
