BLOSSOMS GALORE


I saw this Stampendous stamp set  and just had to have it

Stamped the face 

stamped the blossom numerous times on card and cut them out

Arranged the blossoms around the head and glued down

pearls were placed in the centre of blossoms

pearls for dropper earring

coloured the face with spectrum Noir markers

stamped the greeting

after which I had inky blobs

covered these with the small flowers 

Job done and I love the result
