At the moment, "Botanical Blooms"is my favourite of the 4 Sale-A-Bration stamp sets. I'm sure that will probably change soon, though! For this card I wanted to use a colour I haven't used much - Bravo Burgundy. By itself I find the colour a bit too brown for me, but combined with Pretty in Pink and Sage Shadow, I thought it looked quite feminine.
The stamp set is a 2 step stamping set, so I stamped the Pretty in Pink solid part of the flower first, then the Burgundy outline. To make one of the stems longer, I coloured in just the stem of the image with a marker, then used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the image. I added some Silver Hodgepodge Hardware to the card to finish it off. I was really pleased with the card, but then it was graffitied by a 2 year old (with my Burgundy marker, which is thankfully unharmed). Any ideas for how I can get the marker off the white ribbon?!
Don't forget that you can have this Stamp set for nothing with any order over $100 that you place during January or February!
You are gifted, the cards are gorgeous. (Jacqui)

So pretty. Didn't even notice the handiwork of the two year old until I read the blurb. Will have to pull out my set and have a go.
