Re-visiting a Floral Favorite

Yesterday,
I shared 3 cards that I created with a favorite Penny Black stamp set
that I have used many many times in the past.
The stamp set...BOTANICAL GARDEN... 
is one of those stamp sets whose images are ALL wonderful.

So while I created the cards that I shared a few days ago...
I also had my eye on the larger image in that set...
(again...a stamp that I have used countless times)
and so...I thought that I'd create a few cards with that stamp as well.

Today's cards are Copic colored...
Once colored..I brushed each bloom with Clear Wink of Stella 
for a soft shimmery look.
I die cut the images with a stitched rectangle die...
matted the die cut piece...
chose a soft water color look print for the largest layer...
Matted the print...
and
positioned the matted image piece with fun foam for added dimension.
I created the small matted sentiment  pieces to complete each card
using the Penny Black SNIPPETS stamp set.

and...
 this is what I wound up with...

I never have enough birthday cards on hand...
so I created 2 identical birthday cards to add to my card stash.

I am also always running out of Get Well cards 
so I created one Get Well card.


and then...
I created one multi-purpose card
with a general "Just for You" sentiment.


I almost always create multiples of a card design...
with the same image...sometimes in an assortment of colors..sometimes the same color
and usually, with an assortment of sentiments.
For me..this is an enjoyable process.

I enjoyed creating this short stack of cards
with this favorite stamp
and I'm happy to add this little stack of cards to my card stash.

Thanks for visiting today...
I hope that you've found a little bit of inspiration here at my blog...
and I hope that you'll re-visit some of your favorite stamp sets...
and find time to create with them...again.
Have a wonderful day!
Michelle.
