get more use out of a stamp!

Quick post today with a card made using the Happiness Shared stamp set I borrowed from Rhoda.

I'm hoping for another nice day today! Although if its not, I won't be too gutted as I've got lots of work to do - been too busy playing in the sunshine! Woops!


Happiness Shared Roses

Stamp Set: Happiness Shared
Ink: Early Espresso
Cardstock: Marina Mist, Confetti White
Ribbon: Marina Mist Satin (retired)

Here's a nice way to get more use out of a stamp - using just part of the stamped image can make it look like a different image! This is great for using in a series!
This is actually the first time I've ever made a "flat bow" - its a great way to make a bow because it lays flat on the card and can be put through the post (no extra postage needed - bonus!) and no wastage either. I don't know why I haven't made any of these sooner! 

Happy Stampin',

    1. Thanks, its nice to do something different and remind myself that not EVERY line art image NEEDS to be coloured in :) xx
