When I want to jumpstart my creativity, it's always helpful to start with a grateful heart! While I'm at it, why not use one of the new stamp sets I have waiting in the wings?
Here's how I did it... starting with a full 8.5x11" piece of Neenah 110# cardstock, and this fab prize I won from Shirley Bampton's guest spot at Christmas Kickstart. It's her Layered Poinsettias - truly The Bee's Knees!
I'm always surprised when I open Stamplorations stamps. Why?
Because the graphics are smaller than the actual stamps, that's why!
and I love it! Today, I imagined Shirley's Poinsettias as
any flower that might grow in the garden - in these fun CP ink colors:
I started with an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of Neenah 110# cardstock
that I'd scored at 4.25" and 5.5"
Then cut 4 A2 panels, and added four sentiments from The Stamp Market's Lovely Labels, in Versafine Onyx Black ink. After mounting them onto four card bases, here are the results:
I just love how they turned out!! Thanks, so very much Shirley for this wonderful prize - and for turning my frown upside down today! xo
