FMS 594 Take Two...

 Hello there! My name is Shawn O'Connell and I'm an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Welcome!

I love the Freshly Made Sketches challenges. Yesterday I posted a card I made for the latest challenge, #594. Looking at the card afterwards, I was not happy with the flower. It felt flat. I messed around with the outline image in the same stamp set, Delightful Dahlias ...a Sale-A-Bration set from a few years ago. Adding the outline image really makes the image pop! Using the (now retired) Stamparatus made this easy work. I stamped two different color flowers. I'm especially loving the Melon Mambo flower with the Granny Apple Green leaves.

This is a great stamp set if you like fussy cutting! In case you aren't sure what that means, fussy cutting is when you use scissors to cut out an image. Some people hate it. I think it's relaxing and soothing! This set doesn't have dies, so fussy cutting it is!! Woohoo!



Wishing you all a fabulous week! Thanks for visiting!
