“I do not need another flower stamp set.” I heard you say it, and you’ve heard me say it, too – BUT I can always find a compelling reason to pick up another flower stamp set. I’m having fun playing with flowers these days (perhaps Emma had influenced me or it might have something to do with the fact that I now have time to play in the dirt these days). Either way, I’m having fun with flowers. Here’s a card I made to share with you today:
The Thankful Garden Bundle was introduced in March’s Online Exclusives – and this is the first time I’ve inked it up to play. Here’s a look at the Thankful Garden Bundle:
After finally playing with decorative masks last week, I was excited to paint color on these flowers with the coordinating masks. In the end, though, I was a bit heavy-handed with my Blending Brush (my soft Bubble Bath ink looked more like Moody Mauve), so I decided to color my flower with Stampin’ Blends with the extra image I had on hand. After I had mounted the flowers to my card, I realized the background panel is Fresh Freesia (not Bubble Bath), to I added a little Fresh Freesia to the flowers. Such an easy fix! Here’s a closer look:
I stamped the flowers over and over on a Fresh Freesia panel from the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper -it’s barely discernable once the top layer is added, so it only creates a pattern in the background of my card. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper:
The Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper is currently available, while the coordinating bundle is currently on backorder. UPGRADE! I’m excited to share a new feature that will alert you when unorderable products are back in stock. When an item is not available, an alert shows up that allows you to be notified when products are back in stock – here’s the message that shows up on the Thankful Garden Bundle:
You might think my card is stamped with black and framed with black, but it’s not black. Secret Sea just might be my new black. I have loved working with Secret Sea, and customers can order this new color starting on Tuesday when the new catalog launches. Here’s a look at Secret Sea, a new 2025-2027 In Color:
