where we're looking for STAMPED flower images this month.
I stamped the outline in black onyx ink and then stamped the layers in Sweet 16, Pixie Dust, Royal Treatment, Lime Rickey, & Grass Skirt inks (CP) and then die cut with the coordinating die.
My 2nd card uses the same Handpicked Bouquet stamp set and It's A Girl, Party Dress, Lime Rickey, & Grass Skirt inks from CP.
After die cutting the floral image, I added it to a background panel that I'd embossed with SSS's Feathered Spiral EF with foam tape. A few silver gems and a strip sentiment from Gina K's All At Once Greetings finished off this card.
We hope you'll join us (if you haven't all ready!) and add your STAMPED floral image to our gallery...we'd love to see you there! If you need more inspiration, make sure you check out all the lovely, lovely cards from our DT right HERE. This challenge is open till Wednesday, Sept. 25th @ 5:00PM.
Marcia, your florals are beautiful in purple AND pink - but that gorgeous embossing on card 2 stole my heart today! I'm packing extra cardstock!

Oh, gosh, I think that's one of the prettiest Altenew stamps I've seen! It's so sweet and delicate and appears to die cut nicely. Love your clever hand crafted background on the first card, and the gorgeous embossed background on the second. I'm sure happy you brought this stamp out to play because it's a treat!
ReplyDeleteTwo very different looks with this pretty flower, Marcia! I love the combination of stamping and foiling in the background of the first and the pretty purples. The second card is so elegant with the embossed background and white space. You have shown this stamp off beautifully, my friend!
ReplyDeleteTwo different looks but each wonderful in their design and color, Marcia.
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect color layering on these beautiful flowers! Each card is exceptional in design, Marcia! You always blow me away with your beautiful backgrounds and designs.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning! Love the colors and beautiful texture
ReplyDeleteTwo AMAZING cards using this beautiful stamp, Marcia. I LOVE it in both colour schemes!! Purple and green really pop against your layered background of text stamping and foiling. Such an interesting background - LOVE IT!! Of course, I love the coral bloom with the beautiful dry embossed background. :) Great work, my sweet friend! xx
ReplyDeleteI love this set and am so happy to see both of your pretty cards today! I think the sweet pink version is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are both so gorgeous. Like Michele, card 2 with thta incredibly background has won my heart. Such wonderful color combinations on both!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beauties, Marcia! I love the flourish design of the flower and you've chosen some terrific backgrounds to mount them on! I especially love the foiled geometric - I can imagine how sparkly that is IRL. Gorgeous as always!
