MIM and September SFYTT

Its been a while.  First I was busy with a new job, then for the last week I've been without Internet.  Everything is back to normal and I felt inspired by the latest Make It Monday video as well as the September Sketch For You To Try

 The sketch this month was once again mah-velous.  MIM was using acrylic paint to stamp.  It just so happened that I still had some Lumiere (silver acrylic paint) and so I grabbed my A Little Argyle stamps and set to work.

The floral center is Bloom Builders 3 die.  I am having some trouble getting the blooms out and had to use a craft knife to get the pieces out from between the petals.  Some of them come out easy and some are more difficult.  If anyone has a trick to using it I'd love to hear
Colors are Concorde Crush, Whisper White and Basic Black

Thanks for stopping!

  1. Gorgeous , love the paint background. Most of my flowers have come out nicely but a few have not. I use the die face up then the paper or felt ,then B plate and then card stock on top of that and run it through a few time. Hope that might help you. Love your card

  2. Love your card. I don't have the bloom builders 3 but try using a sticky tape lint roller, I've heard some use this. Good luck!!
