Regarding Dahlias

Ooopppss I am supposed to be cleaning and tidying up my crafty space. But had the urge to play with Regarding Dahlias, love this stamp...

I had another practice of using my acrylic blocks as a stamp with interesting outcomes...

The first card I have inked the edges of the block and stamped to the white naturals card. and then over the top with the flower...I stamped twice more and fussy cut the flower...mat it up in a matching colour and black...love this look...

I didn't stop there though, lol. In the next card I inked the block and this time spritzed it with water and stamped the same image and sentiment with the same layout. I wanted a more subtle background and I used a paler pink.

And here are few others I played around with trying to use up my scrappy and some retired bits...on a roll...

Stamp your background to make the pattern

Stamp 3 and cut them into squares to fit. Border them up.

Stamp a strip to make a pattern and a feature for your card

Decorative Label window cutout highlighting the flower

AND LASTLY!

Before I really should pack up :)

Tile it, Score your card and stamp to the grooved side. The first one I pressed too hard and it leaked into the grooves. You'll have to be patient trying this technique...

Which one is your favourite? Packing up now...sigh.

Thanks for looking, leave a comment if you wish. Or email me here for any queries.
