Day 3 of STAMPlorations Stamp Release Blog Hop

Day 3

 

Hey everyone!  It's time for another stamp release blog hop over at STAMPlorations!  For the next three days we are showcasing a new stamp set.  Today's set is designed by our talented and wonderful teammate, Shirley.  Take a look at this fun set...
Spotlight on FOLK FLOWERS



Isn't this a fun set?!  When I was sitting and admiring it, thinking about what to do, I was suddenly struck with an idea.  I looked at the flower stems and thought, "I could make something different with those!".  Check it out...





Snowflakes!  Yep, this is what I envisioned although it was a little bit more fiddly than I expected.  I took my circle swirl stamp (Party Mates set, Dee's Arsty Impressions) and stamped in clear Versamark ink.  I stamped the stems around the circle swirl in Versamark as well.  Then I took a couple of the small flower center stamps and stamped them randomly around.  Then I embossed everything in white.  I took the following Memento inks and sponged them on the card: Nautical Navy, Teal Zeal, Bamboo Leaves, and Elderberry.  I spritzed my card with water to create some interesting water marks in the ink.  I die cut my sentiment using my Slice machine out of white cardstock and added some Wink of Stella and attached it to my card.

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.
Don't forget to comment along the way!  There are prizes to be won if you do!

Hope you enjoyed your visit!  Have an awesome day!

  13. You are a very clever lady Kim! I love how you have adapted the look of the stamps - something I am trying to improve is my lack of ability of seeing anything other than the original image. The colours are fantastic and the fact that you made a snowflake - awesome stamping! Thanks for the blog hop and for sharing your creations with us Karen x
