Today's SSS STAMPtember collaboration is with Concord and 9th and is called Friendly Florals. It is a gorgeous flat stamp set that allows you to build a wreath with two different stamps and has lots of greetings. You can purchase it as just the stamp set HERE or several different bundles that include the dies. There is a bundle with just the wreath die and two banner dies HERE or a bundle with just the sentiment dies HERE or you can purchase a set with ALL of the dies HERE including a Friend and Hello banner die. Here is an image of the complete bundle with all of the dies:
And here is my one layer card - I didn't use the dies at all!
I stamped the first stamp that is all florals with different colors of PSInk by blocking off other stamps with tape as I applied the ink, so each flower could be a different color. I have all of the colors I used listed in the supply list at the bottom of this post. I would stamp it all one color and then apply a darker color in the same Trio with a tiny foam applicator to just the center of the stamp. Next, I did the leaves all in one color so it was easier to do in one step. I realized that the stamp set comes with multiple stamps that match those in the wreath design so I applied more ink to shade those. I loved how they lined up. I also added the little blue flower to both sides of the wreath design - the extra stamps let you fill it out more if you want to. Or you could do something completely different with them - so many options!
I die-cut this piece with the SSS Basic Rectangle Dies and attached it to a bright pink card base. I stamped a sentiment in the center using Peony PSInk which is the same color I used to shade the large pink flowers. I applied a lot of rhinestones over some of my flowers using the SSS Rainbow Splash Gem Stickers. I also used a few Pawsitively Dazzling Gems around the flowers. I used Nuvo Glitter Drops in the center of some of the flowers. I also applied Nuvo Jewel Drops around the wreath. I can never finish a card without my large collection of every color ever made of Nuvo Drops!
This Friendly Florals stamp set by Concord and 9th is so beautiful and has so many possibilities for use. Like I said earlier, you could build a wreath as I did or you could use the flower and leaf stamps individually for any kind of design. And there are 7 different fairly large sentiments in this 6x8" set. You can purchase just the stamp set HERE or the stamp and ALL of the matching dies HERE. Or if you prefer you can get the set with just the greeting dies HERE or just the wreath die and banner dies HERE. I wish I had those dies for future cards!
