Hello! Because I was in the middle of classic, moving chaos last month, I had to keep my lovely Papertrey Ink stamps packed up tight until we became settled again. I'm talking about the brand, new, fresh as fresh can be, August release stamps. It was hard not to give them any attention, but sure made creating with some of them today extra sweet! I've used the beautiful Stemmed Statements stamp set and coordinating dies on my card and just love them. I'm a big sucker for florals.
I stamped the images using watermark ink of watercolor cardstock and then heat embossed each using Espresso embossing powder. I then used my Zig Clean Color markers to add color and softness. In the background, I used a few images from the Stemmed Statements set as well. I love their detailed nature.
My most favorite element of this set and dies might just be the darling banner die cut with two holes punched for your twine...what a fun detail to add!
Wishing you all a lovely rest of the week! Supplies listed for you below.

This is such a lovely card. Love the combination of stamped floral and die cut floral on this card. Thanks for sharing this. The stamp/die set is going on my wish list for sure.
