Bloom and Grow

Hello.

It's no secret that I'm rubbish with flower stamps,
I think the main problem is that I don't have a lot of inks,
so I struggle to match colour shades with these multi-step blooms.

With this new set, I tried.... and tried... and failed!
In the end, I just stamped the main image, and a contrasting centre,
and I think they look pretty good.


I arranged the blooms and leaves onto a die-cut frame, trimming off the outer pieces that hung over the edge.
The frame was then popped up with foam tape onto my base card,
and I added the die-cut MUM letters in gold card.



Supplies
MFT - painted petals, rectangular stax1, stitched alpha
Versacolor inks - cyan, heliotrope, canary, orchid, sky blue, lavender

Caroline, you are NOT rubbish with anything! When I am limited with coordinating inks, I simple stamp the second layer with the same, and it looks as if it's a darker ink - does that make any sense at all? lol
This is perfection just as it is! xx
