Sweet On You

I love experimenting with stamps and finding alternate uses for the images. I was amazed at how much Damask Delight resembled foliage when I saw Sarah use it here. So of course I had to give it a go.

I started by die cutting a heart using our Clear Cut Stackers: Hearts die, and stamping one of the flourish images from Damask Delight in green across it.

I love the way it looks as is, but wanted to add some flowers to imitate a vine. Mother's Day Bouquet had the perfect flowers for this.

From there, I continued to build my focal point by adding a crocheted flower beneath the heart and another larger heart that I cut from Wafer Board and ran through my crimping tool. A few more die cut pieces of "foliage" were also added using the coordinating Damask Delight Die.

The top and bottom of the card base were flanked with a damask image also included in Damask Delight. And I even snuck in a little more of the damask by stamping one of the hearts with a tone-on-tone pattern.

As I was playing around and doing a little experimenting, I also discovered how you can use many of the flourish images together to build your own custom flourishes. Here I used three of the images to create the start of a bouquet.

I'm sure that finding a use for this won't be a problem! ;)
