Ink blending on Kraft

Hey all, I hope everyone is doing well. I have been bit busy nowadays. As some you have read that I had neck and upper back sprain few weeks back, I had my 2nd physiotherapy session yesterday, and some other tests for another shoulder issue,which was troubling on and off.
All is good, I am just in prevention mode, and taking care of the issues, which I was suppose to h=get checked!

Yesterday was my blog anniversary, I cannot believe but I completed 3 years of blogging.
Thank you all for inspiring and stopping by my blog, I have made many bloggy friends here since 3 years, and I do consider some of them as my friends. A heartfelt thank you for to those who have been following my blog.

Ok, to the card now, this one was started on Monday night , and I managed to finish it yesterday night.

I chose a kraft base and used winnie&walter stencil to ink up using distress inks 3 shades of pink.
I then used the woodgrain texture stamp also from w&w to stamp on kraft using black ink, and added it angled. The flower is stamped using ripe permission on a water color paper and colored using distress inks and zigs. I decided to stamp the sentiment also on kraft and added in thin strips, finished off with 3 black rhine stones and a layered black twine, with a single bow!
I hope you guys like what I came up with.
