Back to today ... here's my stamping interpretation of a gorgeous bouquet of flowers received for my birthday at the weekend from my darling husband and daughters :)
I've used the beautiful Stippled Blossoms set; it requires two step stamping with the first stamp (the more solid stamp) being stamped first in the lighter colour and then the second stamp (the more detailed stamp) being stamped over the top to give the highlighted details. I've used a mixture of raspberry ripple, pretty in pink, pink pirouette, melon mambo and rich razzleberry to achieve these blossom effects.
The leaves are stamped in exactly the same fashion using certainly celery & gumball green. The vase is stamped with a now retired set - Perfectly Preserved - onto vellum which allows the flower stalks also from this set to be seen inside it.
A little pretty in pink cardstock ripped and distressed and a crumb cake punched modern label and we are done for the day!
