Blog Hop for August 2020 SOTM: Floral Celebration


Welcome to the August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop: Floral Celebration. You should have come from Lauren's blog, but don't worry if you started here. The hop is a circle, so just keep going until you get back to where you started. If you get lost along the way, head over to Melinda's blog for a full list of participants. Here's a look at this fabulous set.


I made two cards for you today. Here's the first:


To dress this up, I added Clear Shimmer Brush over the flowers and leaves then added Liquid Glass to the flower centers for extra dimension and shine.

Here's the second card:


I cheated on my coloring. Notice how far outside the lines the color is on the leaves. After I stamped them in black, I turned my stamp over and inked up the back side in Fern or Glacier and stamped over the top. I did the same thing with the medium-sized flowers. I just turned the stamp over to color the main image. To create the red centers, I turned over the small flowers and stamped them inside the centers of the medium-sized ones

Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the Summer Vibes paper collection when it first came out, but it's growing on me. I particularly love this stripe. On the second card, I cut it with the Multi-Circle Frame thin cut. I three pieces of plain cardstock with the same thin cut and glued all of them together to create a solid base.

Now you're off to Gina's blog. I'm sure it's fabulous! Be sure to visit all the blogs for plenty of inspiration with this fun floral set.

Until next time,
