Petal Pushers

I have really been loving this Taylored Expressions Petal Pusher die.  It was free with a $100 purchase during the month of February.  I do believe they ran out and I can see why.  It's a great die!  I was trying to replicate a card that I saw when I was at the TE Studio last week.  

I die cut the Petal Pusher die with Toffee card stock.  I ink blended the leaves.  First with Green Tea ink and then the darker shading is Brussel Sprouts.  The petals were ink blended with Honey ink and then a heavy blend using the same ink towards the center of the flower.  The flower center was blended with Mocha ink. After the blending I put all the pieces back into place and taped them on the back side of the panel.  I put the panel in my Misti and stamped the Taylored Expressions Linen Background over the entire panel using Honey ink.  I splattered the design with Dr. Ph Martin's bleed proof white and Stampin' Up Early Espresso ink refill.  I added the thin foam strips to the back of the panel and put it on a Brussel Sprout card base.  I love this rustic look!
