Satomi Wellard: Flower Patch

SAYONARA-Bordering Blooms

For today's card, I used Bordering Blooms, one of the retiring sets. Did you know 2 stamps in this set coordinate with Flower Patch ?

Don't worry. Flower Patch isn't going anywhere. It stays in the new catalogue. So I made a card with the perfect pair, Flower Patch and Bordering Blooms.

I created the background paper with Bordering Blooms.

First I stamped a big flower with second generation of Lost Lagoon ink. Then masked the flower.

This is the mask.

I used the off cut piece to decorate inside of the card.

I created this for my Japanese customers originally. The dotted scallop ribbon boarder punch is retired in Australia. I'm really going to miss these colours and cute border stamps.

Thank for stopping by.

There is still a month to Mother's Day but it's always nice to be prepared in advance.

My family lives in Japan so I have to send a card by the third week of April to make sure my mother receives her card on time. I used my favourite colours, In Colour 2015-2017 for this project.

I haven't used Flower Patch set for a while and it was time to get it out and play with it. I sometimes feel bad if I don't use my old stamp sets for a long time as if I abandon them.

I remember how fun it was to stamp flowers, die cut them and stuck them. It's like practising flower arrangement.

I kept going and made another card. I need 3 cards every year. One for my mother, one for my mother-in-law and one for my friend's mother.

This pattern and colour combination remind me of summer Kimono. Making my own background with stamps is such fun technique. It's my most favourite things to do with stamps.
