Phew...Blogger is finally back up! WOW, it is funny how it can be missed!
Kitchen sink Stamps has this special edition Lily of the Valley stamp set that I have been wanting for a long time. Lily of the Valley happens to be my very favorite flower. I finally got a chance to order it and play. I was surprised to find that it is a 5 step stamp! I guess I should have read the description better, lol, but I was so excited to get it. I don't have 5 greens that would match for this image, so I used 4 and stamped off one of the steps.
I stamped on the Paper Temptress white diamond paper which allows the shimmer of the paper to show through the ink. I still need to practice getting the layers just right, but all in all, it still looks like a Lily of the Valley.
I was in a rush to get this card finished for a challenge that I wanted to enter and could not find paper to match, sniff. I purchased a pad of card maker paper from K & Co. that comes die cut and ready to fold. I really thought the swirls and pattern were pretty with the flowers.
To embellish it a bit and feel like I actually made the card, lol, I added pearls and ribbon. The flowers are adhered with dimensionals, which gives it a nice look, though it is hard to tell in the photos.
I kept the inside very simple with just another of the images and a sentiment stamp. It is a day late to post this due to Blogger being down (I was fortunate enough to get the link from my Splitcoast gallery in somehow, yeah) The challenge I am entering it into is:
