A Flower for All Seasons
Hi there
I hope you're enjoying the Queens Birthday long weekend and getting some rest and relaxation. That is certainly my aim, as well as some stamping, of course.
I haven't done any colouring recently, so I decided to get out the 'A Flower for all Seasons' stamp set. They are all cute images, but with some warmer weather in mind, I chose the daisies and watering can with the cute frog. I've used inks and a blender pen on Whisper White cardstock, which is a good option for small detailed images such as this one. I'm still in a Rich Razzleberry phase at the moment, so the colour of the watering can led to the rest of the colour scheme. I cut out the image with a labels die and while still sitting in the die, sponged around the edges to define the frame.
The scallop border is created with the double edged scallop oval trim cut with the 'Tasteful Trim' die. At the top, I have shown only one half of the scallop and at the bottom I've used the full trim. I like that the scallop is larger than the scallop border punch, but a bit smaller than the other scallop border on this die. The flowers are punched from the Itty Bitty punches set and to give them some dimension I use the bone folder and the pricking mat to press down the centre and the petals fold in nicely.

adorable, Judy! Love that little frog. You did a great job with the coloring.
Beautiful card Judy – love how you’ve coloured the edges to leave a white border. So very cute.
Ooh, I really like how you’ve used the Tasteful Trim die, Judy. It had never occurred to me to cut that ‘double scallop’ one in half; what a great idea. Gorgeous focal image – love your card!
