JAI #97 : STAMPIN' UP! SWEET FLORAL

Take a look at this gorgeous inspiration photo over at Just Add Ink this week:





I have used Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Floral stamp, with markers.  I coloured directly onto the rubber with Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo and Poppy Parade markers, then spritzed the stamp with water before stamping it onto Whisper White card.  A wash of Pool Party ink softens the background. 

I was thrilled to have this perfect opportunity to play with my new silver flatback pearls - can you tell that I like them, much?!



Stamps: Sweet Floral, Build A Cupcake
Card: Pool Party, Whisper White, Melon Mambo
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo and Poppy Parade markers, Pool Party stampin' pad
Other: Silver glimmer paper, Beautiful Wings embosslits die, Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon, Scallop Edge and Lace Ribbon border punches, Word Window punch, aquapainter, water spritzer, mini glue dots, silver pearls (not SU!), Tombow liquid glue

    Did a double take then, thought you had taken up stitching! I do like the card, that would look effective done on fabric.

    Wow, this is so striking Christine. I, too, did not recognise the sweet floral stamp & had to go find it in the catty! Great use of a BG stamp. Love the two tone flowers, the two fancy border treatments, those cool silver pearls & the tiny hint of pool party. Hugs :)

    HI Christine! Your silver pearls caught my eye. Silke Ledlow ... kindly bought some at 'Michaels' for me and sent them from the US. (She uses them all the time!) But ... I tend to hoard them because I have such a limited supply. Can you tell me where you got yours? I would love to source some more. Hugs xxx
