Summertime Stamping!

Hello, Angie here!

Summer is here and that means longer daylight hours and more color in our gardens!  Coneflowers are one of my favorite flowers so I reached for the beautiful Sweet 'N Sassy stamp set, "Flowers in Bloom".

I added lots of dimension to the butterfly by adding three layers to the base wing and then popping up the fourth layer with a sticky foam pad.


This week's Tuesday Morning Sketches is sponsored by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps so I thought it would be fun to play along with their sketch!


I changed it up a bit by leaving off the stars and adding enamel dots and I used, "Doily Border Dies" for the division between embossed paper and designer paper.

For the inside I added the beautiful sentiment by Laura E. Newell that is one of the four sentiments included in the "Flowers in Bloom" Clear Stamp Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  10. These are so pretty! What a lovely card. I like the diagonal wood paper. I like that wood plank paper but never know what to do with it. You rocked it here.
