This is a retired stamp set, but with my volunteer class I am able to use retired stock & stamp sets – I get to have a little extra play with them before I decide to sell.

Stamp Set – Fast & Fabulous (Retired)

Ribbon – 1/2″ Stitched Poly- Poppy Parade

I adhered all 3 pieces of DSP to the piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Snail Adhesive, prior to adhering the piece of Poppy Parade Ribbon to the top of the Pear Pizzazz DSP.
I stamped the image onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Black Staz-On Ink, while at the same time stamping 3 more images onto scrap Whisper White Cardstock, cut the 3 images out & set aside.
With my Aqua Painter, I picked up a little Poppy Parade Ink at a time & slowly coloured the flowers. I wasn’t too careful about the colouring, as I think this image calls for this sort of colouring. I coloured the 3 larger images at the same time – 1 in Poppy Parade Ink, while the other 2 were in Concord Crush.
With my Paper Piercer & Mat, I punched holes in the top right hand side of the stamped Whisper White prior to adhering to the Concord Crush Cardstcok & adhering to the DSP.
The 3 larger flowers were adhered to the DSP with Mini Glue Dots. The whole lot was then adhered to the Base Card – Concord Crush.
To finish the card, I applied Clear Rhinestones to the centres.
Until next time, Happy Stampin’
