With 1 stamp ... part 1

That's right ...1 stamp! (okay, maybe 2) ...
I am absolutely mad about the Pleasant Poppies stamp from Stampin Up!  It is gorgeous, it is large and you can do so many different projects with it!  So everyday this week I am going to bring you a new project featuring this stamp ... I hope you enjoy this stamp as much as I do.

Todays Projects ....

This is a standard sized card ... I used the Pleasant Poppies stamp as my foreground ... stamping directly over First Edition Specialty paper.  I then used a water pen and "painted" the flowers with my ink pads.  So much fun and easy to do!  I then stacked a bit of ribbon, topped it with a pearl and added it to the card for a bit of texture.




This card is a little 4 x 4 card.  this time I used the stamp as a background stamp.  I inked the stamp then picked up ink from the stamp by randomly daubing it with paper towel to absorb some of the ink.  I took most of the ink off on the centre of the image and left more ink on the upper flowers.  I topped it off with a little double bow made of SU seam binding ribbon.

so ... background and foreground ... two uses for this one amazing stamp.  I will be back tomorrow with another example!

Peace, love and paper!

How very pretty! The poppies look different in each way you've used them. I love the look of the painted poppies.
