Several weeks ago I shared with you my top 5 had-to-have new products. This set was on the list, and it is everything I hoped it would be! I could hardly wait to design this card for the Host Appreciation Virtual Open House this month.
This is a Distinktive set; the floral stamps have a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step. What a benefit!
I chose to stamp the big floral image in Granite Gray — not a typical color for a flower! But because it was the first time I was using these photopolymer stamps, I just couldn’t bear the thought of staining them! I love the way this color palette worked out.
I stamped part of the image inside the card and a larger part of it on the envelope flap. No masking needed, I just watched what I was doing.
The thing that raises this card to another level, however (and suitable for my younger sister’s birthday!), is that I embossed the floral panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. If the stamped image doesn’t already look like watercoloring (it does), this texture increases the effect.
