Stippled Thanks

This DistINKtive stamp allows you to stamp the image with just the right amount of ink. The shading of the flower petals is on the stamp itself. There is no need to add anything more to the image. It truly makes me look and feel like a true artist. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Stippled Roses

   My Small Business

Paper:

   Flirty Flamingo A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Inked Botanicals DSP 5-1/4 x 1/2

Ink:

   Flirty Flamingo

   Island Indigo

   Pool Party

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Flirty Flamingo 3/8" Ruched Ribbon (24")

   2016-2018 In-Color Enamel Shapes

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the rose three times on the upper part of a Basic White panel. I used Flirty Flamingo on the left side, Pool Party on the right side and Island Indigo in the center.

I then added a strip of Inked Botanicals DSP right underneath the roses.

Next, I wrapped some Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon around the card and tied it off into a knot. I made sure this showed the strip of DSP and the ribbon. I added a couple of glue dots to the ribbon to make sure it stayed in place.

I then stamped a sentiment, using Island Indigo.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto a Flirty Flamingo card front.

Lastly, I added an enamel shape to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
