I really love the stamp set that comes with the Pemberley workshop on the go. The images are vintage, yet modern/retro. I'm not exactly sure what this stamp is supposed to be, but that's part of the appeal. I've seen it used as a leaf, as the wing of a bird, and here I'm using it as a flower petal.
I stamped it 15 times and then cut out the petals to create three flowers. I think that black, white, and yellow is such a fun color combination and this Oh Happy Grey paper from Amy Tangerine was perfect. I orginally had the flowers directly on the background paper, but the flowers didn't seem anchored enough, so I added a few punched cardstock circles as a base and some bling in the center.
The trim is from Hydrangea Hippo. Again, I really wanted it to stand out, so I (very carefully) glued it to a thin strip of white cardstock, and then cut around the scallops and added a little more sparkle to it.
The 'hello' is from Hero Arts Hooray set.
What do you think? I'm also going to link this up to Virginia Lu's How to Stretch Your stamp series, which is well worth the read if you haven't gone through it yet.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you week is off to a good start!
