I'm so happy to have finally broken out this wonderful stamp set. It's much prettier made up than sitting in the box :)
Here are three cards I made with this set tonight
Card #1 Pretty Peony
Stamp Set: Pretty Peony (11119, page 88)
Card Stock: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive
Punch: Scallop Edge Punch
This set is a two-step stamping set. It's fun and challenging to get the stamps aligned just right. I didn't do too bad - should have used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, but I was too lazy to find it tonight. Actually I like the "off center" look!!
Card #2 Pretty Peony
Stamp Set: Pretty Peony (11119, page 88), Sincere Salutations (105156, page 140)
Card Stock: Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke
Embellishments: Elegant Eggplant 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109039, page 186)
I'm afraid this is one of my all-time favorite cards. Simple layout, but the colors really make it elegant (no pun intended). The picture surely doesn't do it justice. I need to set up a good place to take pictures - will try it again tomorrow and see if I can get a better picture!!
Card #3 Pretty Peony
Stamp Set: Pretty Peony (11119, page 88), Short & Sweet, (109369, page 146)
Card Stock: Riding Hood REd, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Bella Rosa Designer Paper (112041, page 168)
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette
Embellishments: Rhinestone Circle Fire Brads (109110, page 185)
This was a bit more work as I handcut each flower and set of leaves. But it wasn't hard - the middle flower is popped up with dimensionals - hard to see in the picture!
