Hi,
Susan here with my second post as a guest designer for Dare 2B Artzy. As I did with the last card, I challenged myself to work with one stamp set and very simple dies – the circles in this case. There is a beautiful, curvy vine in the set, The Power of Flowers, which you can use vertically but I decided to use the vine to make a striped pattern on this card. I want to thank my friend, Lisa Henke, for this idea. I was away at a crafty retreat when the vine caught her eye.
I stamped the vine repeatedly with Versamark on Neenah Desert Storm. I then used White Embossing powder and heat embossed each vine. I trimmed this panel to 4 x 5.25″. I decided at this point to cut the sentiment so that I could stack the two words. I did this in order to use 2 circle dies. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.
I popped up the sentiment circle on 3M foam tape and adhered it to the embossed panel. I then adhered this to a A2 sized Neenah Desert Storm note card. This is such a versatile stamp set and I had a lot of fun playing with it.
