When it comes to flower stamps, I am super happy. I love finding creative ways to use them. I am in love with the big blossoms in the GREAT FLOWERS set. I made 3 cards with it because I was having so much fun playing with them. I shared them because each one is a little different and unique. For the cards I took a piece of white cardstock.I stamped the flowers randomly on the cardstock. I tore pieces of encyclopedia pages and glued them to the cardstock. I took a swirl embossing folder and colored the inside of the folder with multiple shades and hues of blue and green markers. I spritzed the folder with water and placed the cardstock in the folder. When it came out there were swirls of white where the pools of colored water didn't reach the cardstock. I added drywall tape to the first one and on all three I added texture paste with a swirl stencil. I used pinks and reds to water colored the flowers. I enhanced the colors with prisma colored pencils. I stamped the sentiments randomly.
For the second set for today, FLOWER BLOCKS, I decided to go CAS. I stamped the butterflies. I added a butterfly from MFP set called BEARDED IRIS.
