I use the stipple butterfly stamp and do the embossing on the wings. Cut them out and glue over stamped image. It is beautiful. If you use the dots, the wings have dimension.

I made a pad with scraps of fabric and corn starch to use in place of the stamping buddy. It works.

I love this technique and will try it for Christmas 2009. I found the poinsetta and boxwood stamp, but I can't find the "Rejoice" stamp. It really helps finish the card. Does anyone know what company carries this stamp? Eagerly waiting for a response.

Hilda Marcello | Wed May 27, 2009 at 3:09 PM

Hi Hilda,

The stamp Rejoice is from the Flourishes stamp set "Flourished Christmas".

Oh, I love this stamp of the poinsetta, and checked online for it, but it's sold out. TFS this - beautiful.
