Hello everyone! I was home sick today (nasty sore throat) and had some time, so I decided to join in on the Papertrey Ink blog hop. The challenge was to showcase our favorite take on flowers. Well, thanks to the talented Michelle Wooderson, I first saw gold embossed flowers on her blog a while ago. Now it is my favorite way to stamp flowers!
After embossing the Violets I water colored them and cut them out. I decided to use them to embellish a tiny envelope because my Postmarks stamp set has not seen ink yet. Yeah, terrible I know! I love making the pretty little stamps, in any color- a bunch of different stamp combinations and a matching die. So cute!
Now I'm off to check out the other blog hoppers, looks like a ton of beautiful cards to look at!
Thanks for peeking in!
