I made these cards using a modified "rock n roll" technique, where I inked up the stamp first all over with "Pool Party". I then used "Island Indigo" to add a darker colour around the rim of the stamp. To create depth, I used a sponge dauber to put more Island Indigo on parts of the flower. And isn't it a beautiful flower! It belongs to a set from the Annual Catalogue, "Blooming with Kindness" (just $39.95 in wood). The set has a wide variety of useful and elegant sentiments, including for hope, thank you, kindness and birthday. I've actually used some very special stamps on these, from a set given to Convention attendees last year in Canberra, called "Workshop Words". I inked up the stems with Lucky Limeade. Very quick, very easy, and lots of fun.
In other news, Stampin' Crop! is next Saturday 23rd February, and there are just a couple of spots free. Call me 0403 175 790 to get more information, or check the entry in the Google Calendar at the right sidebar.
