Best of Flowers Blog Tour

Today we’re continuing to stamp with Stampin’ Up!’s 25th Anniversary stamp set – Best of Flowers.  Welcome to the RemARKable Blog Tour!  I’m stop #3 and you’ve just come from my friend Linda’s blog Ink Stamp and Scrap.  I love Linda’s style – she stamps like me – clean and simple! 

This is the third day of samples with this great stamp set.   Our anniversary sets have several images that are retired but were quite popular and one brand spankin’ new one!  I’m so glad they brought them back in this exclusive limited edition set!  I thought today I’d stamp with the rose bouquet as I’ve never stamped with this one before.

It also marks my first time using the Dress Up Framelits.  I just love these little framelits, they’re so cute!  And you can do SO much with them.  The limits are endless.

Creative Tips:

• I took our First Edition DSP and cut that out with the dress form, stamped directly on it using Jet Black StazOn and the Rose Bouquet stamp. 
• I squeezed my ink pads to collect the ink in the lid and water colored my images using the Aqua Painters.  I colored the image using Riding Hood Red and Garden Green.
• I stamped color on color for the banner in Soft Suede using the Blooming in Kindness stamp set for my greeting.  I just LOVE that set!
• I added a Vintage Faceted Buttons with Linen Thread tied through them and two Pearl Basic Jewels to complete my banner.
• I cut the end of the banner using a 1” Square Punch and popped it up on dimensionals for some drama to my simple card.
• My Garden Green panel needed a little something so I created a vintage looking wallpaper by stamping the Rose Bouquet stamp several times from different angles in Garden Green.
• I popped two Riding Hood Red panels on either edge.  It completed my card.
• For my base, I chose Very Vanilla.

I just love the end result, I hope you do too.  It’s a classic card and really pops. To see my other card with this set from earlier in the week, click here.  To see my candle also done with this set, click here.
