Using the new beautiful Flourishes Summer Blossoms stamp set, I made myself a mini altered note book with lots of texture and popped up blossoms as well as a popped up sentiment:
I started with an inexpensive notebook that I purchased from a local craft store for $1.00!!! After painting and applying pretty patterned paper from the Pink Paislee London Market collection to the cover and back, I stamped the pretty corner floral image x 6, once for the complete image and five other times for the pretty little blossoms, then fussy cut them out.
Using a glue dot, I popped up a little blossom in the decorative charm:
I stamped the sentiment, cut using a Spellbinders Oval die then popped it up with a few 3D foam squares.
Thanks so much for visiting! For some fab inspiration, please be sure to visit the following designers: Amanda, Sharon, Cindy H., Danielle, Tammy, Christine, Mona (that's me), Heather
