I decided to play with the new freebies that I’d selected out of the Sale-a-bration brochure – Lovely Lily Pad and Lily Pad dies.

I used the dies to cut out 2 rows of the teardrop type shapes and then used the Beads and Baubles TIEF to emboss the rest of the top layer. They go together perfectly. I mounted this on a night of navy cardbase and then turned to the stamp set. I found that the reversible stamp is very easy to use – and ensures that you clean your stamp promptly! – but it isn’t totally symmetrical so you get an artistic look. I diecut the lily and popped it up with dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from the So Sentimental stamp set and is cut out with the matching dies – Stitched So Sweetly – but you can of course use a sentiment from your stash.

I’m a member of the Talented Tutorial Team and each month the 15 of us create a bundle of 15 tutorials. If you spend $50 with me on product, I’ll send you all 15. You’ll also earn a Sale-a-bration freebie from Stampin’ Up! with that order.
