Faux Cross-Stitched Flower

Today's card is another one that I made for Cornish Heritage Farms' Backgrounder Blitz. The theme for the day's challenge was using the Kissing Technique. It's where you take 2 stamps, one detailed and one more solid, and then ink either or both up and smoosh them together. The solid stamp takes on the detail of the other stamp and you get a really cool effect. Here's my example:

I took a flower image from Silhouette Blooms II and inked it up with 2 different colors. I then smooshed it onto the Weave Backgrounder to get that lined detail. I placed my white cardstock onto the Backgrounder and pressed evenly with an acrylic block to transfer the image.

I thought the resulting flower looked just like it was cross-stitched, so I paired it up with this pretty paper from Cosmo Cricket's Honey Pie collection.

The sentiment stamp is also from Silhouette Blooms II, white cardstock from Georgia Pacific; metal accents from Stampin' Up!; all other materials from Papertrey Ink.
