Breathtaking Bouquet

As I get ready for my stamping classes this week, I wanted to share one of my favorite designs we'll be making using the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp.  It's a large stamp that is usually used as a background stamp.  It looks beautiful embossed in any color (gold, silver, copper, and my favorite, white).  Janet Wakeland did a great FB video on using this stamp and how to do it quick and easy.  

You don't even need to mount this stamp onto a block.  First rub Bashful Blue Card Stock (4x5-1/4" with a Stampin' Buddy before embossing.  Then, just lay stamp face up on your Grid Paper, ink up with Versamark, lay card stock on top, and then fold your grid paper over card stock and rub it to transfer the image.  Emboss (I did it with white powder) and you get a beautiful image.  Use Delicate Lace dies with Vellum paper to adhere on top of image.  Add some White Crinkled Seam Binding--tucked edges around back of card--embellish with a bow.  Adhere to Bashful Blue card base. Stamp cake from Happy Birthday to You set (SAB) in Smoky Slate ink, color with Stampin' Blends, then use coordinating die to cut out the cake (or fussy cut it).  Of course, there's Wink of Stella on the flowers and a few pearls to dress it up.  Happy Birthday is stamped inside on White Card Stock.
