I can't tell a lie. If you pass by my blog, you know I'm more of a cute-image-lover, rather than a classy-floral-stamp-kind-of-gal.
When I got my Mama Elephant box this month, I went gaga for Bear Hugs and Three Amigos, and nodded appreciatively at Zenith Borders. But Freestyle Florals? I think I rolled my eyes and thought: not another flower stamp set.
Don't be mad, Kryssi & Angela. hee hee.
When I started playing with it, I kind of fell in love. It's fresh and whimsical, because of the hand-drawn nature, and looks beautiful colored or not.
I decided to do some masking and have the florals frame out a sentiment (taken from Bear Hugs.) I gave the flowers a subtle wash of blue and stamped the sentiment in colors that matched.
It all looks like a piece of stationery to me, something you'd buy at a paper shop. I love it.
I hope you like it too! Click over to the ME blog to see what the rest of the girls came up with.
