Well, we are almost into August already! How times flies when you're stuck at home! ;) I got to play with a new set this month. My stepmom bought it for my sister in law, but they let me play with it for a bit before sending it on. I may just have to buy this set myself now that I've had some fun with it! The set is called Prized Peony Bundle and it comes with The Prized Peony cling stamp set and the Peony Dies. I love, love, loved the dies that cut the pieces to make a semi 3-D peony. The dies looked intimidating, but the flowers were actually really easy to put together once you know how to do it. They just nest into each other starting from the smallest to biggest and the bottom edge of each one is the same shape so its easy to line them up! This one I used a pink vellum and sponged the edges of the pieces before assembling. Then I put it onto the back side of one of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. I lined it up with one of the stems on it and colored that in with a Stamp N Write Marker.
And the stamp set is so versatile! They are great for focal points or background stamping! On these ones I used the large peony stamp as the focal point and colored them with my Stampin Blends, and used the little diamonds texture stamp in the back ground.
But then this one I stamped the two different peonies all over my Whisper White to use as a background. For my sentiment I stamped the "My Thoughts Are With You" first and covered that with a scrap of stick note and then stamped over that with the peony. (the technique is called masking)
Okay, Okay, enough gushing. I'll probably have more later, but I will have to cut myself off soon so I can send them to their rightful owner so she can enjoy them too :)
Oh, and I also want to let you know that I now have cards up for sale on an Etsy site! A dear friend of mine graciously offered to share her site with me, so head on over to AdventureHollow and check out our cards, masks, and vintage treasures! Tell your friends! :)
