Flower Blocks 1

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to Day 4 and the final day of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Release Features!  We have another fabulous stamp set to share with you today!

Today's feature is:
This gorgeous set of large flower block images is a dream to color.  You'll love adorning your Spring cards with these lovely images and sentiments.
  • Set includes 4 images and 4 sentiments
  • Set measures approximately 6" x 8"
  • Images measure approximately 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
  • Illustrated by Korin Sutherland
  • Set is priced at $26
I had so much fun coloring the gorgeous tulip in this set!  Here's my sample:


Creative Nugget: Can you believe there's no DP on this card!  The background panels were created by randomly stamping the tulip block first in Cherry Cobbler, then in Crushed Curry.  The edges were sponged before mounting each panel on matching card stock.  These were attached to a Square Solar Crest card base. Now the fun begins...the top panel was stamped in Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic Markers, bringing out the colors of the background panels.  The sentiment was stamped on a banner die and sponged a little while the banner was still in the die.  Gingham ribbon and pearls were added to finish the card.  I really like how this one turned out and hope that you do, too!

The Design Divas did an amazing job creating Flower Block samples for your viewing pleasure...just click on the thumbnails below and get ready for a fabulous hop!
