Congratulations

The pandemic has taught me many things this past year. It's taught me what's really important. It's taught me to focus on what really matters. It's taught me how truly generous and wonderful my friends are. And it's taught me that no matter the circumstances it's important to celebrate the little things and find joy in moments. Here's two cards I made to celebrate the small things using the Art Gallery stamp set. As I mentioned in my last post , this is a two-step stamp set which means you can uses colours to really bring depth to the flower images you stamp. In this case I've used coordinating colours of shades of blue, but you could use contrasting colours to really make a pop.

When Flowers meet Art

For me when I think about flowers I think about spring and blossoms starting to bloom on the streets around me. I don't often think about art galleries but the name of this stamp set Art Gallery got me thinking about when I could travel and the types of art that I'm drawn to and Monet's paintings are certainly a stand out. For this card I used the Art Gallery Stamp set which is a two-step stamp set and for some of the second steps used heat and stick powder with gilded leafing to give it both a textural feel and some bling. It takes a bit more time to do the gilding but it's a very different effect to heat embossing and works really well when there is a large amount of stamped area to guild. It's almost perfect for two-step stamping to give it a bit of a lift. If you want to find all the tools, get more inspiration and get two-step stamping you can find all the resources you need online here . Happy crafting. Sally
