Funky Fossil Leafy Mandala Birthday Card with Tim Holtz Wild Flower Stem Dies

It's time for another birthday card, this time using die cuts.

I started off using a base of Distress Oxide Sprays in two shades:  Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon.

Over the top of that I layered a Funky Fossil stencil called "Leafy Mandala" and used Distress Ink in the shade of "Pine Needle" through the stencil.

Using two set of Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits dies called "Wild Flower Stems" 1 & 2, I die cut the flowers using my Sizzix Big Shot.  I then coloured them using Distress inks and a blending tool.  I glued the coloured die cuts into postion and then stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair ink in the shade of "Monarch".  The sentiment was part of a free stamp set that came with a magazine.
