Pick a Petal


This is one of my favorite stamp sets, Pick a Petal. Thank goodness it will be in the new catalog! It is such a versatile set. Isn't this card adorable? It is the card that my friend Lynn made for our swap at the SU meeting. I also love her color choices. Perfect Plum, More Mustard, and Old Olive. The petals for the flower were stamped and then hand cut. For the leaf, Lynn took a whole sheet of cardstock, laid it in the bath tub, and used a toothbrush to splatter it with bleach. Clever huh? This is one reason I love our meetings so much. We always learn some fun easy technique. We then simply stamped the petal and cut it out. I love the added dimension the bleaching technique gives the leaf. The stem is hand drawn, and the sentiment is from the stamp set Heard From the Heart.
