Embossed Rose

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  I dusted off my Stippled Blossom stamp set and inked it up.  This is a 2 Step Stampin' set.  The Stamp a ma jig is a must for me when I do this type of stamping.  Of course, the Stamp a ma jig is a tool I use on just about every card I make. It keeps images and words perfectly aligned and occasionally perfectly crooked or perfectly upside down on those days when I'm not paying close enough attention to what I am doing.

I stamped the rose and bud image onto watercolor paper, using my aqua painter to blend the color.  When the images were dry, I cut them out, glued them onto the stems, and ran them through the Big Shot with the Lattice embossing folder.

The saying at the bottom is from Blessings from Heaven.  I used the retired ticket punch on the corners.  The images are mounted on Black card stock.

Supply List:
Stamp Sets: Stippled Blossoms, Field Flowers, Blessings from Heaven
Card Stock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Watercolor paper

Amazing Hardwood

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  I love the Hardwood stamp.  The possibilities with this stamp are endless.  I have seen so many beautiful cards created with this stamp.  I have put together one of my own beauties!  It has been such a long, cold winter and we are all ready for the blessings of Spring.  The calendar says it is Spring, the robins have returned, and it rained yesterday instead of snowed!  Praise the Lord for His simple blessings of faithfulness.  The flowers and butterflies will come...

The Smokey Slate Hardwood provides a beautiful soft background for flowers and butterflies!  The butterflies were stamped with Black Stazon, colored, punched out, pressed into the Versa Mark pad, covered with clear embossing powder, and heat set, and shaped.  They almost look real!
