If flowers were hugs, I'd send you a thousand

This stamp set by Stampin Up is called Abstract Impressions and I have been using this set a lot using different color inks to make the petals. I saw a you tube video that showed how you can stamp the one solid flower off your page two times before you stamp onto your cardstock so  you get a much lighter impression. Then with the 2nd stamp, you stamp that off your page once before stamping that onto the other flower. Lastly, stamp the 3rd stamp directly onto the flower as that gives it an even darker look. That way, you don't have to stamp each flower using 3 different colors. I love this look!!

Lovely work using second and third generation stamping to create your layered flowers. I like how you used all your colors with the sequins also :-) Thank you for joining us this week at AHSC.
