   Irresistibly Yours DSP 5 x 3-3/4

   Whisper White Scraps

Ink:

   Always Artichoke

   Marina Mist

   Melon Mambo

   Strawberry Slush

   Large Oval Punch

   Dimensionals

The blossom is stamped 3 times. Each stamp is highlighting a different part of the flower. So, you can choose a different color for the various stamps. I used only Strawberry Slush on mine. I did stamp it on a scrap piece of Whisper White and then cut it out using my paper snips. It is attached using dimensionals.

The stem was stamped using Always Artichoke and then cut out. I adhered it with adhesive.

The DSP has an embossing resist technique on it. So, you add ink and then wipe it down with a paper towel. The leaves shine through and the ink is attached to the background.

The sentiment was stamped, colored, and punched out using the large oval punch. I used Tuxedo Black Memento, Always Artichoke and Melon Mambo. It is attached with dimensionals.

Thank you for stopping by here and taking a peek. I appreciate your time and comments. Do let me know what you think. 

HAPPY STAMPING!

The sentiment was adhered with dimensionals, and the ribbon was added with a glue dot. 

I really like this two-step stamping. It adds the right shading in all of the right places. You can easily create a bouquet of these blossoms or keep it to only one. The sentiment can also be changed to whatever you need.

Thank you so much for stopping by here. Have a wonderful day and keep smiling.
