Good morning!
Welcome to the first day of the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps February release blog hops! Today, we are showcasing a lovely new stamp set called Bloom & Grow.
These flowers are so soft and pretty stamped in colored inks - all giving a taste of spring! I stamped my stem directly on my banner die cut, cut from one of the bookmark dies in the Bookmarks & More die set - LOVE this particular die and use it often just like this. Then, I stamped the flower on white card stock and used a waterbrush to add a very light touch of yellow to the middle of each petal.
The background is another new stamp set this month that you'll be seeing a lot of from me over the next few days because I LOVE it! It's called Delightfully Delicate Background and even though it's a 4" square stamp, Korin has made this image SO easy to line up to easily cover an entire card front.
I snuck one more new product on this card - can you see it? I used one of the Shape Up dies for the flower pot! It worked perfectly as a pot cut from cork paper, don't you think?
Super fun!
Here's all the details of today's stamp set for your information:
- Large Flower Petal image measures approximately 1.5" x 1.5"

Jessica, you always make me smile! Beautifully done, my friend!!!
Oh you clever gal, you! The first thing I noticed was the use of the cork, but until I read your comment about using the Shape Up die it didn't dawn on me. What a great idea!! Great card, Jessica!
Great card! Love the background stamp.
beautiful - love all the elements you added to the card each one just adds a little extra love - the cork vase, the lace/fringe on the side of the banner
