Flowers ATC

When creating this Flowers Artist Trading Card ATC I thought it would be cool if I had a sentiment that was "Bloom where you're planted" and found that I did have a stamp with that sentiment in the My Craft Spot Tiny Tags 2 set that I won last yr.

Using the Basic Grey flower stem stamp I stamped 3 flower stems.

Using the Spellbinder/Hampton Art die/stamp set I first stamped the flowers on white cardstock, cut out with the die, sponged the edges & used foam dots to pop them up; placing them on top of the stamped flower stems.

Used a yellow Sharpie to make the orange gems a little less orange and more yellow. Put the gems in center of the flowers.

Stamped the My Craft Spot sentiment and then used a Martha Stewart  punch and this is my Sun.




























gems: 3 orange - colored with a yellow Sharpie to subdue the orange colors & give it more a yellow color <-- my bling & old
ink: Memento - Cottage Ivy - green, Paris Dusk - purple, Tuxedo Black <-- all 3 are my old
Martha Stewart: punch - to resemble the Sun <-- my old
paper: cardstock - Kraft base, green, white, yellow <-- scraps, my old
Spellbinder/Hampton Art: Flower dies/stamps <-- my new
stamps: My Craft Spot Tiny Tags 2,

   Basic Grey - flower stem
