| The color combination of grays, pinks, and blues is so amazingly beautiful together. |

| The use of vellum is meant to soften the hard lines and give it a bit of texture. To add to its texture, I used a retired SU embossing folder. I thought it would add a bit more to the design. |
I know a lot of you have seen this set from Altenew. I thought it would be a sinch to do multi-step stamping but wow was I wrong. It took multiple tries, failure after failure, frustration until I finally figured it out. I ended up using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the stamp exactly where I needed it. It seemed to have done the trick.
Well, that should do it for me!! I want to thank Just Us Girls once again for being such fantastic hosts. I do hope you join their challenge. For me, it was great fun and I am sure it will be for you too. Take care and until next time, take care and happy stamping!!
All the best,
Shawna
Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love the peonies in the blues and pinks with the gray leaves. I think I will be CASEing this in the near future!
ReplyDeleteGlad you persevered with this glorious card. Beautiful colours together and love the added texture of the embossing folder x
ReplyDeleteYes, it can take some trial and error to get those layered stamps just right, Shawna, but you ended up with gorgeous flowers. The embossed background looks like lace and adds a wonderful layer to your card.
ReplyDeleteI also sometimes struggle to do the multi step stamping, Shawna!!!!! Your peonies turned out perfectly in the end and they look absolutely amazing!!! I love the idea to do the leaves in grey and I really like the embossed bg and the vellum!!!! Such a beautiful sympathy card, my friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!!!
