SC318 Botanical in Gray

Photo Details

Poster: suen

I was digging through my drawer of flower stamp sets a couple of days ago and came across this former hostess set. It's a reverse stamp, as it stamps the area surrounding the flower, so I inked it with basic gray, stamped on river rock and then embossed with clear ep. I used the versamarker to darken some parts of the flowers and framed it with a layer of basic gray cardstock. The french script was stamped with river rock, on white and I used an EK Success border punch. The ribbon is SU's taffeta, the rhinestones are from Kaisercraft and the card base is river rock.

Oh, this is so very pretty! I love what you've done with that flower stamp, I've never seen it before! Just beautiful with the script bg and the knotted ribbon.

Wow..another gorgeous CC card. Sue, you are really on a creative roll :-) Must be because you finished reorganizing your stamping supplies.....I know that happens to me. I really like your ribbon, scalloped edge, main image, rhinestones and of course the colors. TFS
