Labor of Love - Easter Blossoms!

Have you ever come across a new technique and instantly had your own version of it mentally pictured in your head?  Well, when I first came across a YouTube tutorial on the Brick Wall Technique, I knew I wanted to give it a try, and I also knew exactly what stamp to use.


Today's stamp is from the Easter Blossoms set out of the Occaisions Mini.  I stamped on Sahara Sand cardstock, colored in with Blushing Bride markers, then used my paper trimmer and Sahara Sand ink to create the brick wall illusion.  I ran the completed piece through the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines embossing folder and mounted the entire assembly onto a River Rock card embossed with the Framed Tulips embossing folder.

The whole thing is tied together using Blushing Bride and Victoria Ribbon.  I'm so tickled with the way this turned out! The Brick Wall technique was easy, but time consuming, with wonderful results.  I think i'll file this beauty under the "Labor of Love" category. =)
