When I got the new Vintage Peony Combo stamp (E1341), I kept coming up with ideas for coloring it. Should I stamp it in brown and watercolor the flowers for a vintage feel? Should I emboss it in gold? Should I color the stems with a green marker and the flowers with vibrant markers? So many choices! I ended up inking the whole thing with my Versa Magic Oasis Green inkpad and stamping it onto a Pool notecard. I loved the background you can create by stamping the image over and over. The floral stamp has a leaf stamp on the side of the wood block that I used as "filler" for the background.
To finish the card, I added some patterned paper from the 6" x 6" Spearmint paper pack, some mint pearls, and the Thanks Script (A833).
The mint pearls are a nice touch. I never think of those things!
