Stampin' on Saturday ~ Flower Power

I do love a good flower stamp. Along with butterflies, they are among the most used motifs from my stamp collection. The Petite Petals set, with matching punch, has certainly earned its keep.

While I was making the mosaic cards, the other day, I thought that the embossing folder looked a bit like a trellis. I could imagine something growing there. I took a flourish and stamped it a few times before embossing the card. Finishing with a sprinkle of flowers and a sentiment.

I took the same flourish and stamped it once this time. Adding a label, which I stamped onto a separate piece of card and cut out, before embellishing with a cluster of flowers. Leaving me with plenty of white space.

Finally, the type of card we never want to make. I always keep it very simple when making sympathy cards. The flourish didn't quite fit the idea I had in mind so I picked a leafy stem instead. Positioning the flowers to cover up the berries.

Using one flower from the set and just two ink pads, in grey and green, I changed the card stock colour each time to give me some variety. Do you have a favourite stamp or motif that you use a lot?
