The Craft's Meow - Preview Day Two!

Hello friends! Welcome to day two of previews for the March, First Birthday release from The Craft's Meow! Today we're showcasing "Cherished", another gorgeous set designed by Nina Brackett!
I stamped the large stamp from the set onto a piece of white cardstock using brown ink and then stamped the hydrangea image twice, once in pink to get the flowers and once in green to get the leaves and stem. I pieced the flower together over the background and popped up the flowers a bit for some dimension and added some liquid pearls to the flower centers. I decided I loved this image as a label for a little gift box so I attached it to some burlap ribbon which I attached to a medium pillow box. I then stamped a couple of the word stamps (perfect for building gift tags!) onto a tag and tied it to the box using a couple of strands of burlap string.

Just in case you haven't heard, this is The Craft's Meow's first birthday celebration week and each day there will be challenges and prizes! Today's inspiration challenge is the photo below. Head over to the blog for all of the details!
