Bloom Burst

It's almost flower season here in Idaho.  We have had the most mild winter! The bulbs are starting to bloom, which reminds me of the name of the stamp set I used for today's card, Bloom Burst! 

Isn't is so pretty!  I love this stamp!  I have to tell you about the cool way I got the color on this flower.  

I used prints I made on my gel press.  Let me show you the prints...

 

I just stamped the flower on both of these pieces and then cut out the blooms from the purplish piece and the stem and leaves from the green piece.  Then I glued those onto a flower I had already stamped on Whip Cream card stock and had cut out.  The key to paper piecing is to cut the top layers out right on the stamped line, cutting a bit of it away even. 

Making Gel Press Print is pretty easy, with a Gel Press, a brayer and some paint.  If you are interested in learning more about the Gel Press ask me about my Gel Press 101 program.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my creations with you.
