Howdy!
While digging through my stash of stamps, I found this "Star Flower" 6x6 stamp from Simon Says Stamp. I have to tell you it's been fun looking through my stash and finding things I forgot I had. It certainly helps get the creative juices flowing!
I decided to stamp the "Star Flower" with embossing ink and then add white embossing power to it. Once it was heated with my heat gun and the powder melted, I went about making an ink blended background. I used Distress Oxide Inks in the colors: Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberries and Wilted Violet.
Because the "Star Flower" stamp is 6x6", I was able to cut it in half to make 2 cards. I decided to use my scissors and sort of fussy cut around the image to add a "shape" to it. The Tailored Expressions "Simple Strips Background" stamp is perfect to make small sized banners for your cards. It has 18 sentiments you can stamp all at once and then cut out with the matching die . So handy to make a bunch of strips for future use!
Both of my cards have Studio Katia "Crystal Rainbow Confetti" adhered to them for a bit of bling!
The background papers I used today are from the Sunny Studios "Flirty Flowers" 6x6 collection.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by today!
Happy Stamping!
