Before I mounted the fussy cut stamped flower I used a background stamp I had in my stash and stamped the whole card panel in light vintage distress oxide . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.craftadda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_9385.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123086\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I distress the edges of the watercolored card stock with a distress tool (you can slso use the blades of the scissors.) I pasted the whole thing a little obliquely on the card. It gives a very worn and vintage look to the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the second card I used some of the pattern papers from the felicity collection of craftangles and combined it with some flowers and some Craftangle chipboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.craftadda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pic-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123088\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the final card I used the flower stamp and painted it with shades of brown and simply mounted it with lace and chip board on the kraft cardstock by craftangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.craftadda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pic-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123090\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a look at a;
