This is one of the stamps I bought with the 25% sale items coupon from Michael’s last week. It is “Bouquet Montage” by Stampendous. At first I didn’t think I’d buy it because I didn’t think there was enough of an area to color. But, at that price I decided it was worth it, and I’m glad I bought it.

I got the idea to use my large CM circle punch to make a large scallop border (DCWV Glitter Stack) with one scallop layered on top, from Valerie Salmon’s “Two of a Kind” layout in this month’s Scrapbooks Etc. magazine. I used “Cottage Floral”, a Close To My Heart stamp on the scallop overlay accent. Tim Holtz Milled Lavender Distress Ink and Powder were used for the polka dot flower stamp and I filled in the dots w/ a Bic Marker. It was just the perfect accent, but I apologize for my photos, they never do my cards justice. I’m seriously considering upgrading to a Digital SLR. The center of the flower is a rhinestone from Michael’s dollar bin, and two of the flowers in the stamp also have rhinestone centers.

I used my Bic Markers to color the image which was stamped with Staz-on’s Brown ink. I distressed the edges of each individual piece with the Staz-on ink pad. The teal glitter paper matched Bic’s light teal marker beautifully. And, I selected Martha Stewart’s paper because the browns coordinated nicely with the finished stamped image.
