Well, this was an interesting challenge for me... I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out, but in the end I really liked the results. I made an easel card (you can google easel card tutorial) out of Rustic Cream cardstock and use Road Trip stamp set and paper. Then, I added in a bit of Botanical Silhouettes. I didn't have Melon Berry ink, so I mixed some inks to create the illusion. Then, added in some distressing and sewing and even a few diecuts to create some additional interest. Finally, I covered it with the tissue paper (and yea for running it through your die cut machine- that is a must!). Then, more distressing, restamping the sentiment and adding a few more things to balance it all out and voila. :) It was done!
Enjoy!
