I wanted to focus this month on the Build A Blossom Stamp set and the Blossom Petals Punch. Such a cool set that matches perfectly with the new punch. Both found in the Occasions Mini Catalog!! Did you receive yours in the mail? If not email me at [email protected] and I'll get one off to you. You don't want to miss the wonderful products in the mini catalog!!

Ink: Basic Gray, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, VersaMark (102283, page 195)
Embellishments: Vintage Flower Adornments (121879, page 15 Occasions Mini 2011), 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon Marina Mist (119257, page 191)
Punch: Blossom Petals (121808, page 12 Occasions Mini 2011)
Also used Clear Embossing Powder (109130, apge 196)
It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but the flower petals and leaves are "shiny". I stamped them in VersaMark and then poured clear embossing powder over them and heat set them with the Heat Tool (100005, page 196)
This is a great technique and fun to add real dimension to your petals. I also curled the petals around a pencil to give them some definition - Oh and I used a 3/4" circle punched in Rose Red to mount the petals on and then put them on the card with dimensionals.
Check back tomorrow for another great card with this stamp set and punch!
