Sweet Birthday Wishes

Greetings Stampers!

I started fiddling with the roses from the Flower Fest stamp set.  I first started by embossing the image with white embossing powder, and then highlighting the centers of the rose with ink the same color as the cardstock that was used.  That still didn't give the shading / dimension that I was looking for.  I then stamped additional roses the same way I did the original ones, cut out the centers and then adhered them to the original roses with Dimensionals.  I figured I'd better stop before I ruined them ")

More Fun with Greeting Card Kids

Happy Saturday!

Bill and the kids all went fishing and target practicing today, so instead of going with them, I thought I would use this opportunity to have some uninterrupted crafting time to myself. 


To get the little girls dress to match the background design I stamped the image on the cardstock and cut the dress out.  Then I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock and adhered the cut out dress over the stamped image on white.  I believe this is called Paper Piecing. 

I just love  the Greeting Card Kids stamp set.  The children are darling and the images are versatile, they can be used for many different cards.
