Crepe Paper flowers with Tim Holtz distress ink

I have been making Crepe paper flowers all week.  I watched a video on the Martha Stewart site and it was so easy, I could not resist.  I added some Tim Holtz distress ink and some fancy stamen that I purchased at Michaels.  First I used the flower soft wires and crepe paper for the stamen.  I have been trying new color combos.  My fav is the white with Lipstick ink.

Off the edge. Happy Birthday

This card was my first attempt to to have the stamped image go off the page.  I used a CTMH set of stamps and some Pearl Ex Watercolor CD series by Jacuard ( Dark Peach ) to color in the the body parts.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink for the edges.
