Wednesday's with Nature's Blessings Stamps - A Queen's Thank You

This week I used the "Queen's Herald" stamp again.  I stamped it in rose red Stampin Up ink and colored it with my Copic markers.  I was a little worried that the ink might bleed but I think it did fine.  Even though I played with this week's image a little bit more (i.e., using my Copics) I still feel like I can make this sweet bunny even cuter.  I will have to give it another attempt soon.

I hope you enjoy this week's card.  I wanted to use a bold color since I've been using a lot of muted, pastel shades lately.  I also love being able to add lace and a button!

Wednesday's With Nature's Blessings Stamps - Happy Easter

This week I used the "Queen's Herald" stamp.  I knew the moment I saw it that it would make a very fun and unique Easter card.  After a few attempts at a card idea that wasn't working out, I pulled out a piece of vellum and tried stamping on it.  Then I had the idea of embossing it with copper embossing powder.  These stamps are so detailed that I am astonished at how well it came out.  (I definitely recommend using a detail embossing powder if you try this yourself.  You will get the best image.)

The embossed copper looks cool and has excellent detail but still does not match the beauty of the original stamp image.  Next week I will feature another card using this stamp so you can see the inked image as well.
