I am showing off two cards made from the new Color & Contour Stamp Set today! If you are coming from the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop- Welcome!! I am Ann Krucek, from Ohio, USA. I am happy to be participating in the May Blog Hop where the theme is anything Floral. 🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸 I used the new Contour & Color Stamp Set for both of these cards. The first card is using the spotlight idea where I stamped several of the daisy type flowers in a random pattern in Momento Ink and then cut a portion of it out with a circle die. I took that piece I cut out and colored it with my Stampin' Blends and adhered it to a black scalloped circle to frame the circle. Then I just lined it back up with where it was cut from and adhered the circle back in place. Sorry- just realized I left off the Basic Black cardstock! 🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸 The second card is done with white embossing powder. I stamped a piece of Shimmer White cardstock with Versamark ink randomly with the daisy type stamp from the Color & Contour set and added a leaf here and there. Then I used the embossing powder and heat tool to get those raised white flower images. Then I just used my Water Painters and water colored the with the new Polished Pink ink and just a tiny bit of Bubble Bee ink. As you squeeze out small amounts of water - the colors blend nicely and you can paint right over the embossing and it magically stays white!!! The sentiment is a die from the Ornate Frames set. I added a few of the new In Color Jewels to give it a bit more sparkle and some Polished Pink Ribbon. These two cheerful cards are pretty simple to make but make an impact.
