Stampers Dozen Blog Hop…Anything Goes!

Welcome to the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month the theme is Anything Goes!  I decided to use a new to me stamp,  Bouquet of Thanks and a technique I haven't done in a long time.

• Stamp the Bouquet of Thanks image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
• Color the image using Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.
• Use 2 Stylish Shapes square dies and cut out a frame .
• Attach the image to the Basic Black cardstock.
• Apply Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the frame.
• Adhere the frame back into the Basic White CS lining up the image,
• Adhere the square piece into the center of the frame using glue.
• Adhere on to the Petal Pink card base.

Inside I stamped a partial image and colored it with Stampin' Blends.

In the past I have always done this technique using squares so I thought I should try it with circle dies.  This time I used the Nature's Harvest stamp set.   I colored in the image again with Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.  The flower centers were colored using a Blender pen.  The process to make this was basically the same except I used the circles from the Stylish Shapes dies.  I also added the Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim and a few Brushed Brass Butterflies.

The sentiment is from the Through it Together stamp set on a banner cut using the Stylish Shapes dies.  Now it is time for you to check out the rest of the stops on the Hop!
