I received a beautiful card a couple of weeks ago from a dear stamping friend
Diane using this awesome stamp set Holiday Bows from
The Ton. The stamps are two step stamps in clear polymer and after watching a video and calling my friend Diane I figured out how to make the bows look "perfect", I think these bows could be used year around for Birthdays too. I also got the die set to go with but have not used them. There seems to be fewer hours in my days the last couple of weeks. I have a pad of christmas papers from Doodlebug in purples, greens and blues so that is the color theme I went with for this card. Inks are from AMuse and I found the pigment inks worked best for me vs,. the dye inks. I made up 3 x 2 samples to keep with the stamp set so I knew what colors went well together, Some I tried just didn't do the stamps justice. Challenge:

Gorgeous! Wasn't it just so much fun once you got the technique down? I got the die set now, and practiced die cutting a bow. They work perfectly. I love how you used the stamp set. Good luck in the challenge!

Wow, Shirley! Your stamped bows look amazing - so realistic! I think this would be a great stamp set to have. Like you said, it could be used for birthdays, too.
