Sabrina gave us a fun, fun challenge today. Make our own stamp. After you make enough cards with flowers on them, you realized flower petals are either oval, round or ruffled. I took fun foam and cut out one oval shape, kinda like a leaf shape. I stamped the sentiment first and used it as my starting point. With a stipple brush and acrylic paints started the flower. Eye balled where I wanted the center and penciled a small dot. Going around this dot stamped the petal. Did this twice around. Same with leaves. Doodled around the image and stamped script over it. tfl

What an awesome idea. I have one leaf leftover from mine. Now I know what to do with it. This is absolutely gorgeous. I love that you stamped the heart over it. Beautiful!

Oh my word, I totally love this one. Your flower that you made is super lovely. The script in a heart shape around it what such a wonderful addition along with the scoring lines. This is a piece of art for sure. LOVE it BIG time! TFS :0)

Into my favourites, Linda - you really rocked this. That flower is so elegant - I love the scripted heart and the LOVE incorporated into the stem. Thanks so much for playing along.
What a beautiful card! At first I thought the flower was the stamp image you created but after reading your details I realize that the petal was the image stamped over and over to create this beautiful flower. Great idea!
