I should be doing laundry right now, but I thought I'd squeeze in a card this morning because I've been eyeballing this stamp set, Eastern Blooms, for a while now. It's been sitting there patiently waiting for me to get some inspiration, calling my name.... well, today's the day! I glanced at SCS's (Splitcoaststampers) sketch challenge and this card popped in my head. This card went together pretty quickly - a definite advantage of these bold stamp images. Here's a quick rundown on today's card -
After trimming the three different sections of cardstock/Porcelain Prints DSP to the dimensions that I wanted, I very lightly sponged Bordering Blue ink on the outermost edges of the paper. I swiped the Bordering Blue inkspot across the branch stamp, instead of tapping it, to give it a slightly less intense stamp impression on my main panel. I stamped the large flower 3 times and trimmed them out, then added dazzling diamonds glitter (with a dab of mono-multi glue) on the flower centers for sparkle. I adhered with popdots to bring them up and off the main panel. I like using the photo corner punch to add a little color (and something different) for corner treatments. I finished with ribbon and silver brads.
Thanks for visiting today! The laundry is now calling my name, but I don't feel very inspired for that.... oh well!!!!

Very pretty. I love the monochromatic look. I tried to comment on your Skeeter card, too, but it wouldn't let me. That card is really cute. Every time I see that stamp set, it makes me smile. Great job on the cards!
