I wanted to make some special cards for the family members of my friend, Tammy.  The stamp is an old one from Stampin' Up.  I started with 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" blushing bride paper from Stampin' Up and scored it at 4 1/4".  I rounded the corners of it and then used a layer of paper that was white with blushing bride flowers in it and cut it 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".  Then I used a piece of 110 pound Recollections white cardstock that I cut to 4" x 5 1/4" and rounded the corners on all of the pieces of cardstock.  I used a Judikins blending brush with Distress Ink Spun Sugar and brushed the background of the white card.  I stamped the image with Ranger Archival black ink.  The image on the front of the card was from My Creative Times and the set was a stamp set called Floral Sayings and the inside sentiment was from a set from Paper Trey Ink and the set was called Heartfelt Basics..
  I used a blender pen from Stampin' Up (also recommend Dove blender pen sets and here's the link to it --  https://www.amazon.com/Dove-Products-BL-KIT-Blender-Kit/dp/B00MVILT36/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470245790&sr=8-1&keywords=dove+blender+pen+set 

The Dove set is $9.39 at Amazon Prime.  The Stampin' Up blender pens are $10 for three of them and if you don't have a Stampin' Up demonstrator, my friend, Linda Bauwin, would be happy to help you.  Her contact info is [email protected].
  The colors I used with the blender pen were Distress Inks and the first was Victorian Velvet and the next was Tattered Rose.  I used a Stampin' Up marker called Rose Romance and scribbled it onto some acetate and used the blender pen to pick it up.  For the leaves, I used Baked Brown Sugar Stampin' Up water based markers to put some brown highlights in my leaves and my stem.  Then I went to Distress Ink and used the blender pen again with Forest Moss.  I made a mistake with a dark green and dabbed it with a baby wipe and it took the dark ink off, much to my surprise and excitement.  I layered the card with some fun foam and tear tape.  I used a tape runner to adhere the next layer to the pink cardstock.  I used Stickles in Cotton Candy on the flowers for a glittery look.  My envelope had a nice floral pattern inside.
