I just received this stamp set from Flourishes in the mail and couldn't wait to open it up and play
I used Flourishes "Christmas Postcard", stamping it out twice. I cut one to make a "frame" to place over the bottom stamped image. I colored it in with Tombow Markers and "antiqued" it all with Distress inks. And used a Martha Stewart punch along with a Spellbinder die to make a lace "doily" look.
I personally think my "antiquing" was a bit too heavy handed so I am going to try to make another card and lighten up on it a little bit. I did go back and color in the rest of the evergreen trees a little darker, after I had taken the picture. I just thought they were too faint looking.
All in all, I love my new stamp and can't wait to play around with it a bit more
