I think I am officially obsessed with the Flowering Fields stamp set available through Sale-a-bration. I’ve done a number of variations on the same theme – the most recent one is in Blushing Bride:
- Stamps: Flowering Fields, Timeless Texture, Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Color Palette: Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, Rose Red, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Pear Pizazz
- Accessories: Linen Thread, Stampin’ Write Markers, Uniball White Gel Pen, Wink of Stella
I love coloring in these images with my Stampin’ Write markers. Sometimes I use the fat, brush end, and sometimes it’s the pointy writing end, but either way it’s something I find relaxing.
I mix and match the backgrounds from Timeless Treasures – it’s one of those sets I know I’ll reach for again and again. And speaking of reaching for something, my Wink of Stella brush is always on my craft table these days. I’m thinking of getting one for my bathroom too – don’t you think a little {wink} would be just the thing for those too-early-Monday-mornings?
Here’s how I start…the backgrounds are stamped off and I do 3 of each one. My tiles are 1 3/8″ x 1 1/8″ and I have to stamp twice, but I’ve found it easy to line up the images by eye.
Once I have a set of images I like, I move them around until I find a sequence that pleases me. The rest is just Fast Fuse (and a bow with the Linen Thread, but I’ve done hundreds if not thousands of those and it’s No.Big.Deal.)
Here’s the original. Keep your eye out – there are more to come!
I love this! Wonderful card and idea.

Cheryl, that’s an interesting idea. I think it’s too small as it is but I’m going to play with that…

Loved this card and tried it myself. I would like to know how you managed to line up the background stamps as mine came out a bit uneven. It still looked nice. Thanks for sharing!

Ha! Well, Sysan, there’s not much of a trick. I cut a huge stack of tiles and if I didn’t like the way something looked I threw it out and started another. Paper is cheap!!

Aloha, Oneda! Flowering Fields was available during Sale-a-bration 2016 – last year’s event. It is no longer available from Stampin’ Up!, but you may be able to find it through the usual third party channels. Timeless Treasures is also a retired stamp. Teeny Tiny Wishes, however, is still available from Stampin’ Up! Good luck with your search!
