Tuesday Flowers with Shari

Welcome back to the blog everyone! Today is Tuesday and that means we have our Stamp of the Week. I was soooo excited when I realized that THIS is the stamp for the week!!! Whooo Hooo!

For my card, I created a grungy-ish look for my flowers by inking the flowers with Rusty Hinge ink, then I added more color by dabbing my fingers in Vintage Photo and Barn Door Distress ink, tapped onto the inked stamp. With a spritz or two of water… stamp onto watercolor paper and Voila!

I love how the text in the flower is distorted… FUN imperfection!

Card by Shari Carroll. Instructions and supplies can be found HERE.

As I said, the Newspaper Tulip stamp that I used is our Stamp of the Week! You can get this stamp for 25% off this week only in the Hero Arts Online Store. Regularly priced at $10.00, this woodblock stamp is just $7.50 through Sunday, March 11th — no promo code needed.

I consider this stamp to be one of those essentials for your stamp toolbox. There are so many technique possibilities… like… stamping with white on Kraft, white embossing on a colorful background or as a resist. FAB-U-Licious!!!  I’ll be back tomorrow with more wonderful flowers! Enjoy!
