I am THE luckiest. I won this gorgeous stamp set Silhouette Blooms from THE awesome Kim Hughes. Thanks Kim!
To make this card I did this schtuff:
1...Trimmed the mulberry paper with that a homemade tearing edge ruler that I made using the blade from an aluminum foil/tin foil box.
2...Stamped the Silhouette Blooms (easy placement cause you can see them through the acrylic block-me likey!) I stamped with a tinted versa mark pad, but alternatively you could just water colour your mulberry paper with a reinker wash & heat gun dry, then use plain versamark
3...Embossed the flowers with clear embossing powder & heated it well
4...Went over the mulberry paper with black ink on a sponge, wiped off excess ink
5...Put the resulting image in between paper towels & ironed out the e.p.
6...mounted the mulberry paper onto Pretty in pink cardstock; added the Doodlebug black cherry brads
7...Cut the mats out of: Berry Bliss designer series paper, Basic Black, Purely Pomegranate. Added SU rub-on (sab)
8. Added the raspberry velvet Ric Rac (May Arts) on a strip of Purple Pomegranate cardstock (matches better I.R.L.) I like match-y-poo how about you?

I recently finished a roll of foil and kept the blade edge thinking that it might just be a freebie edger....I like it when I find someone else is thinking the same!
