spring stamping

I’ve been busy stamping the past few days and found some time to have a little fun with my new Victoria Park line stamp set.  It’s always exciting to finally use it in person. When you design a set, you plan a lot of different ways to use it so that it will be the most fun and flexible for the end user.

Today’s card incorporates a couple ideas I had in mind for this set. I adore frames and this little frame turned out just how I’d hoped. It’s perfect for sentiments, embellishments and even tiny photos.

I’ve also created my own embellishment using the tiny floral spring and some of the patterned paper from the line. I stamped it in a permanent ink…my tried and true go-to ink, Jet Black Archival. You need to use a permanent ink so that it doesn’t run when you apply the Glossy Accents to adhere it to the Cabochon. I love how the glass bevel really creates a beautiful accent and also magnifies the image.

I’m sharing this card design and another stamped card on the Lily Bee Blog. I hope you’ll pop over and join me here.

Happy Saturday!
