Hi there! We're highlighting a few favorite stamp sets from 2012 as we continue to celebrate Papertrey Ink's 10th anniversary. Today I've chosen to focus on the lovely, Embroidered Blooms stamp set.
After creating my card base, I used the Noted: Scalloped A2 die collection to create a dainty, scalloped border around my card. Embroidered Blooms always reminds me of dishcloths, aprons, and gingham, so I had to add a few scallops to this card to carry on with that feel.
I then stamped my blooms using Melon Berry, Fine Linen, Lilac Grace, Pale Peony, Bright Buttercup, Berry Sorbet, Green Parakeet, and Spring Moss. I attached this stamped block of cardstock to my card front and started adding a few embellishments.
I mentioned my love for gingham earlier, so I stamped a strip of cardstock using Bright Buttercup ink and the Background Basics: Super Gingham stamp set. My sentiment was stamped in Lilac Grace on a die cut banner and then I added a few die cut flowers and leaves using the Make it Market Mini Kit: Garden Gild dies.
I haven't used this set enough! But, here is a set of projects I created using the beautiful Embroidered Blooms stamp set.
Lots of news and details on Nichole's blog, so be sure to tune in and play along with us as we celebrate!
