Florals for Fall with a Fun Technique

It's no secret that I love flowers. That's why I'm always drawn to floral stamp sets, especially Distinktive stamps. They're amazing!

My gardens are ablaze with color right now - they're always the most beautiful right before the first frost. It's the last hurrah before winter!

Did you snag the Delicate Dahlias stamp set during Sale-a-Bration? I hope so, it's a fabulous set to have in your collection. If you missed that set, try this technique with any solid floral image you have.

The Stamparatus is a must to get the two colors on the petals of the large flower. I stamped it first in Bumblebee the added Calypso Coral to the edges of the petals with a sponge dauber. Because the stamp and cardstock are held in place on the Stamparatus, you could add as many colors as you want and everything lines up perfectly!

I was inspired by my friend Beth Daniels, who sent me this picture of her card made with Delicate Dahlias:

I stamped the large center flower first, then created a mask for it with a Post-It note. The leaves and smaller flowers are then stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade.

This fun fold is called a Side Fold or Book Fold. The card base is 11" x 4-1/4", scored on the long side at 5-1/2" & 6-3/4". The ribbon is secured inside the small section on the left then glued shut with liquid glue. The images are stamped on a 3-7/8" square of Basic White cardstock and layered on a 4" square of Poppy Parade.
