Lots of Lavender

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Free Sale-a-bration Stamp Set 

Lots Of Lavender

Today I want to share with you a card I created using the beautiful stamp set "Lots of Lavender."
I love the way it turned out and it was so easy to do even with all the added colors stamped.  



Here are a couple of tips when stamping which made it faster and easier to line up especially with it being a photopolymer stamp set.
I first stamped the outline with Archival Black.  I then matched all the leaves and stem stamps onto the outline stamped image and placed my clear block on top.  Now I have all three stamps on one block that I stamped in Old Olive.  Makes it so easy and faster to just have to ink up once and get all the greenery stamped.  I then stamped the Lavender and greeting with Perfect Plum and the bow with Berry Burst.  Done... wasn't that easy and fast.

Stamp Set:  Lots of Lavender, Southern Serenade
Ink: Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Berry Burst, Basic Black
Cardstock:  Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Whisper White
Punches:  1 1/2" Circle, 1 3/4" Circle
