I love all of these colors, so I decided to use them all. In looking at my stamps I was searching for something festive, and I think this new Fabulous Flourish by Hero Arts fits the bill. Doesn't it remind you of beautiful fireworks?
I first inked up my stamp with versamark ink, then 3 colors of distress inks, and clear embossed after stamping...I wanted a bright and shiny image. I added gemstones in the same colors, and my sentiment stamped and embossed on vellum. For the background I used 3 BoBunny double dot dps.
Happy Anniversary, Play Date Cafe! Looking forward to many more challenges!
Supplies: white cardstock, BoBunny double dot cardstocks in orange citrus, buttercup and passion fruit, Hero Arts S5449 Fabulous Flourish, mustard seed, worn lipstick, and spiced marmalade distress inks, Versafine onyx black ink, clear embossing powder, Hero Arts gems from the blush and sunshine mixed accents sets
