Stamped the envelope flap to test this new stamp. That went well, so I embossed a white card base using 2 Spellbinders A2 Card Creator dies with a rubber mat, instead of cutting. Masked the card base, and stamped the flower. Because I used distress ink I didn't get good coverage of the lightest color, so after stamping everything I went back with a light green alcohol ink pen to fill it in. That worked fine since the alcohol ink doesn't disturb the water based distress inks, but the alcohol ink does bleed through.
I've stamped and colored another flower and when I receive the matching dies (on order), I'll cut it and cover the bleed with that. Nice to have something inside too.
I kept putting off buying a multi step stamp, but now that I have, I'm hooked! So easy using my Misti.

Oh my Priscilla- this flower is just gorgeous in the colors you chose. I am always so delighted by the fun, creative ways you use your spellbinders dies, and this is right up there on my "delight scale." Fun! I look forward to seeing what else you make with your new multi-step stamps. Hugs! ~Karen.
