I love monochromatic cards - to me they always have a certain elegance to them.  For my card I decided to go with tans as my color scheme.  I used the Online Exclusive bundle Irresistible Blooms for my project -

Irresistible Blooms #161150 $54.00

I love the elegance of this set - and it seemed perfect with this color scheme.

I started with  standard A2 Base of Basic White, and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Sahara Sand, which I tore diagonally - that gave me two pieces to use on two different cards.

I then used Soft Suede for my ink color to stamp random patterns on both the front of the card base and on the torn piece - and then sponged a little of the ink along the torn edge and around the layer for the sentiment. I stamped and cut out three of the smaller flowers from the set for my cluster - popping one up on dimensionals and coloring the centers with Wink of Stella.   I also stamped the sentiment and popping that up.  Here is a close up of some of that detail -

As you can see in the picture above - I used two pieces of our White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon - coloring one with an Ivory blend - and then tied a double bow that I added with a glue dot.  The final touch was I colored three of our Heart Pearls with the Ivory blend and added them to the front of the card.  Love how it all came together.
