I wanted to use my new JudiKins background stamp and thought it paired up nicely with the Stampendous Fresh Bloom. The blooms were colored with Prisma Pencils and OMS. The blue layer of background was clear embossed on white paper, then brayered with Brocade Blue. The Barely Banana layer was black embossed. It may not look too masculine but I think I will give it to DH on our 35th Anniversary next month. The bloom reminds me of the Plumeria blossom. When we were married in Vientianne, Laos, 35 yrs ago; the plumeria was the only flower in bloom in the country in May. It was used exclusively in my bouquet and all decorating. I have a Plumeria tree in my yard now. I know that this is probably way more than you wanted to hear, but... that's my story and I'm stickin to it! Thanks for looking, and reading!
