Hi All!
Today I decided to use the same flower stamp set I used on this card. As with the other card, I colored this one with my Derwent Inktense Pencils also. I really like how these pencils blend. I used the Hero Arts Soft Granite Shadow Ink as a background again. It’s such a pretty shade.
I created the white border on my panel by using my Spellbinders die as a stencil. Be sure to emboss the panel after cutting it because otherwise it moves too much and you won’t get a crisp border. I made the vase, stem, and leaf using a few punches. One of the punches I got for free from the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration catalog. The sale continues through March 22nd (get a free item for each $50 you spend).
Anyway, enjoy the video and I’ll be back next week with a fun ice cream stamp by There She Goes!!

Lovely card (as always)! I was wondering if you’d be kind enough to share your “sandwich” for embossing the labels seven?
Darlene DeVries
Hi Terri – good question! It took a little bit of trial and error. My sandwich: tab 1, acrylic plate, die with paper inside FACING CUT SIDE UP, black rubber, black plastic.
Mary H.
