I’ve just moved into a new house! As of yet, I still don’t have easy access to my stamping supplies. All I have is paper, ink pads, stamps, and dies.
What to do?
Well, because all I have on hand is paper, stamps, inks, and dies I’m going to have to get creative. This is a great opportunity to be a bit frugal and just use what I have in my craft room.
So here is a project using Basic White Cardstock and using an inking technique to design some background cardstock and then I use another inking technique for creating the flowers and leaves. I love the color variations that I’m able to create and really add to the beauty of the flower arrangements. I used coordinating cardstock for the BASE CARD to frame each bouquet. Watch my My Video Tutorial for all the steps. Thank you for stopping by and please leave a comment! Cheers, Kat
