RRD Blog Hop and Contest

It is the first Thursday of the month and time for  the Red Rubber Designs Monthly Blog Hop and Contest. The theme for this month is "Floral Design" and we will be featuring floral stamps all month in anticipation of the beginning of Spring.

The Spotlight Stamp for the month of December is "Flowers and Holly".  This set will be available all month at a 40% discount.

Flowers and Holly

When I first saw this stamp set, it reminded of vintage botanical prints so I created with that idea in mind.

Sunflower

I stamped the image, colored with distress markers, masked and stamped the background with the script stamp from Vintage Santa stamp set. I framed the image with dry embossed brown cardstock.

Holly

I randomly added black ink to the embossed areas and brushed gold ink on the embossing around the image.

Hibiscus

Four tiny brads grace the corners.

I am very pleased with my results...love it when a plan comes together.

To finish off the cards, I embossed the back. I used a fold of writing paper on the inside.

Don't forget about the contest. You can win the Spotlight Stamp set by correctly guessing the total number of flowers in this arrangement.
