S2105 Flowers For You Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Flowers for You!  What a delight this stamp set is to work with.  Create quick and stunning borders, individual flowers or a gorgeous medallion print.  Leave them as line drawings or get your mindfulness happening and do some colouring. 

I’m delighted you’ve joined the Flowers for You Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop.  This is a circular hop.  If you arrived from Danielle’s blog, Scrappy Chicks you are in the right place. Simply read through this post and click on the link to the next blog at the end of it.  Keep reading and ‘hopping’ until you find yourself back where you started from.  Each blog will showcase a project featuring the Flowers for You (S2105) stamp set which is May’s Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart.

Today we have a guest presenter!

Today’s layout and cards were created by my daughter, Kathryn.  She has been scrapbooking since she was 10 and has a beautiful clean style.  I love that she was happy to help me out and I think her projects are just beautiful.

The pattern for the layout comes from the newest Make It From Your Heart design book, Volume 5.  It is pattern 19.

Stamp decorative borders onto printed paper

The border print on Flowers for You (S2105)is nice and big, making it perfect for scrapbook layouts.  Kathryn used Archival Black ink on the pink print and then coloured with Tri-Blend Markers.  She cleverly made sure the pattern matched up in the centre between the 2 pages.

Fussy cut the medallion print

Stamp, colour, fussy cut and then layer the beautiful medallion stamp onto a circular shape to make it a feature on the page. 

Soften the starkness of a white background with stamping

The white daisy base pages on the layout have been stamped in Mink ink using the 3”x3” Charming Backgrounds spotty stamp.  The card backgrounds are stamped in Ballerina ink using the small open dots stamp that comes with Flowers for You (S2105).

A quick and easy border can be created by stamping words from the set in different colours.
