I wish you could see these cards in person - they are just full of color, reminding me of Easter Eggs!
I used the Flowers Full Sheet set from Blockheads Paper Arts.
Using the Emboss Resist technique (you can see a tutorial HERE), I stamped each of the three kinds of flowers with Versamark ink on separate squares of cardstock. For each, I sprinkled clear embossing powder on the images, then used the heat tool to set them.
The fun part was using multiple inks to bring out the images. Any dye inks will work great; I used my ginormous stash of Stampin' Up! ink pads on these (specific colors are listed in the Details section at the bottom of this post).
The Marigolds card is entered in the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. We're to choose 3 colors from this inspiration photo to enter (I chose yellow, apricot and green).
Each stamped square was mounted on black cardstock, then attached to the card bases with foam dimensional stickers. And of course, a touch of bling graced each card's corner. ;)
Thanks for coming by! Hope you enjoyed these Spring-y creations.
