My new stamps turned up this week and while I haven't been sitting down stamping madly non-stop, I have managed to put together a couple of cards I quite liked using one of my new favourite sets, Fifth Avenue Floral. This set contains three flower stamps, a stem (so you0 can build your own garden) and a phrase as shown on this first card.Hmmm ... I don't remember this photo being quite so blurry - sorry about that *g*. You get the idea.
The rose stamp is pretty big - the image is about 6.5cm x 7cm, and as with the other two flowers is perfect to watercolour - or, as shown here, stamp onto coloured cardstock and cut out.
Loooove the new Wide Oval Punch!

Supplies used:
Stamp set/s: Fifth Avenue Floral
Ink: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Real Red
Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Gray, Basic Black, Whisper White
Other: Wide Oval Punch, Scallop Edge Punch
The second card I made with this set was inspired by this one at Splitcoaststampers ... I even accidentally used the same words *g*, trust me, I was looking for something different but the typeface just fit so nicely with the design.I must have been having a red and black day.
The strange thing about this is, while I love how the card came out, and the warmth and brightness of the colours, I'm not a fan of orange at all. I guess I'm learning to live with it, so long as it's offset by another colour.
The colouring was done partly with a blender pen and inkpad, and party with Stampin' Write markers.
Did you know that the word window fits exactly into the Large Oval Punch? Looks very effective, don't you think?
