Hi all,

Well the snow is  melting – and I’m hoping we don’t get more!  Things have been soooo busy here, but I finally found some time to stamp.

I decided to play around with the Impression Obsession Fiesta Flower cling stamp.  I just wanted to see what I could make with 1 stamp and one selection of papers.    I have one other project I’ll share tomorrow – but I thought I’d share my little “experiments” today.

For all of the cards, I used the Basic Grey Marrakech 6″x6″ paper pad and Prism card stock.

For my first card, I stamped the image in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored the image with Copic Markers.  Here are the colors I used. 

I added a little Mango Adhesive Pearl the the center.

For the second card, I played with layering embossed sections of the image to create a flower in different colors. 

 I chose 3 coordinating cardstock colors and embossed the image in the new Zing white embossing powder (I like that powder!)

I cut out portions of the image and layered them with foam tape, then added a little pearl to the middle. 

 I cut out a matte with the Spellbinders Labels 4 die and embossed the sentiment.  Then just layered everything on the card (along with the Marrakech paper).

For the last one, I was trying to make a quicker, simpler card. 

So I just embossed the image and sentiment.  The I used the ticket corner punch before I layered everything.  Then just added some self adhesive rhinestones. 

There are my 3 “experiments”.  It was nice to finally stamp again!

Make sure to stop back for the 4th Friday Challenge – its a great prize!
