Stamping Sensations is asking for our favourite stamps,
and I’m sure I can’t be the only one who finds this difficult 😃.
I have a few favourite sentiments, but my favourite stamps tend to be new ones 😂
This is a new to me stamp and die set from SU, Fragrant Layers.
I watched a video by Sara Sayers (KissKreative) just after I’d bought it, and I’ve been hooked since!
I got more inspiration from other SU demonstrators such as Patty Bennett.
For today I’m just sharing one of my cards which started off as a mishap….
I cut a card blank, then scored it in the wrong place….it then stayed on the side for a while.
Whilst playing with this set I was using all sorts of colours.
This flower spray was stamped with my Stamparatus then coloured using the infill stamp.
I then stamped the individual flower stamp several times and fussy cut them.
Here’s just some of the many snippets….nothing wasted here!
I layered them on top of the spray , stamped the sentiment and dots (tiny stamp in the same set),
and added some gems.
I then took it to my paper stash and found a sheet that complimented, and also solved my card blank error!
I cut it to fit the inside and was still able to stamp a readable sentiment inside.
I may start using my subtle older papers inside, as a way of making space for new ones 😉
I could not believe how many different looks you can get from this set,
and I fear I might bore you with it.
It’s certainly my favourite at the moment,
so I’m taking it to Stamping Sensations (favourite stamp or AG)
Snippets Playground #526 as I used lots of white snippets, and a paper one.
My NBUS #83 (never before used)
Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments
Take care and see you soon

I will NEVER be bored of pretty floral cards like this Lesley, I assure you! I love this “happy accident” card. Great idea about using papers up in side your cards too. . . food for thought xxx

A beautiful design with your lovely flower stamps, love the layered flowers and a great idea to rectify your scoring error with that perfectly matched dp inside the card.

I agree. It is difficult to pick a favorite stamp. Your card is lovely. I love the yellow dots you added to it. I don't own anything SU but if I was to pick I'd get this because I see that they make a die set to match. I am one of those that detest fussy cutting. The set looks like it's going to be fun to make different arrangements with. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteNo your not alone choosing a favourite stamp Lesley, when we have that theme I always think that past is a challenge on it's own. But the one you decided on is very pretty and layered up the flowers look lovely. Many thanks for sharing a favourite stamp with us at Stamping Sensations challenge.

Favourite stamp - yes that's a difficult one and something I feel changes almost daily and especially when something new comes along. This is indeed a very pretty set and looks versatile which is always good.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card made more special with your 'happy accident'.
