Manhattan Flower

Remember when the Manhattan Flower TIEF  debuted?  It was a must have and well I think it still is but  I admit I have not pulled it out in a while.  I was looking for a set that I could use to practice my coloring skills and  thought it would be  perfect.  Coloring is definitely not one of my strengths and I hope with more practice I won't shy away from stamp sets that require coloring.

I even used the Manhattan TIEF in the inside of the card.

I like the partial embossing and will definitely employ that idea again.  Here's what I used.

Stamps:  Elementary Elegance SAB set
Ink:  Basic Gray, Regal Rose and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write markers
Paper: Watercolor paper, Pink Pirouette, Basic Gray, Whisper White
Big Shot: Manhattan Flower TIEF
Punches: 1- 3/8" and 1- 1/4"  circle punches
Extras: Basic Gray Satin ribbon, Blender pen 

Okay here is your  Sale-A-Bration reminder.  There are just a few days left of Sale-A-Bration so be sure to place your order soon and not wait till the last minute.   Okay?  Thanks!
