And who said romance was dead?

I have loved playing with the Bordering on Romance stamp set from the Autumn/ Winter Mini. It is a really versatile little set to have in your collection. There are so many different stamping techniques that I have used it with : bleaching, watercolouring, shimmer paint effects and emboss resist (used in the cards above) just to name a few.
How gorgeous are these little note cards and matching gift box!!!! If you were one of my lovely hostesses this month you may have received a gift similar to this as a thankyou for letting us come and play at your place 😉
To create the gift cards above. I first cut the shape on the fold using the second smallest Framelits Die, cutting the little white card out on the fold.
Then I stamped the spray of flowers in Versamark before pouring Clear Embossing Powder over the top and then embossing the image.
Next I got my Sponge Daubers and sponged colour over the top of the embossing so that the design resisted the ink and came to the foreground.
I then cut out a smaller piece from my Designer Series Paper using the smallest Framelit and adhered it to the inside of each gift card to dress it up a little – still leaving room for the greeting underneath.
I created my matching box using the NEW Simply Scored Diagonal Plate and followed these instructions  – super easy!
Do you have a favourite stampset that you love using with lots of different stamping techniques? If not – consider adding this set to your collection before it disappears!
