Alison CT - Create Your Future Self

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a card created using Journaling Essentials stamps as inspiration for Sally's challenge in the Bee Crafty Facebook group. I've also used the colours from the week 4 palette as it was one that particularly inspired me.
To begin, I created a background by smoothing worn lipstick distress oxide on to a blending mat, then spritzing with water.  I dipped my card into this ink three times, drying with a heat gun between dips.
Using an aqua green Posca, I drew through the line and circles inkable tag, from set 5.
I then stamped the dots, from Journaling Essentials 9, using Charming Pink Versafine Clair ink. 
Using Versafine Clair Monarch ink, I stamped the grid from Journaling Essentials 9 four times onto the background. 
On separate card, I stamped four of the flower from Journaling Essentials 8 and three of the leaves from Journaling Essentials 4. I stamped one leaf with Worn Lipstick and two with Spun Sugar distress oxide. 
I coloured one flower with Worn Lipstick and one with Spun Sugar.  The other two I left white. I, then, cut them out. 
Next, I edged the background piece with Spun Sugar distress oxide ink and glued it to a 5 x 7 card blank before decoupaging the flower and adding it and the leaves to the card.
Finally,  I added a sentiment from the The Best Things Take Time transparency prints sheet.
