It's such a cool PAIR of stamps everyone! I'm so happy they are in my Birthday Collection now. The Spellbinders Nested Pennants, and Lacey Nested Pennants will be in the Flourishes store as soon as they arrive and you can pre-order them now by clicking on the above links! It is such a great stamp set to pair with the dies with our illustrator Marcy making it beautiful.
So you probably remember I showed how I made an apron and chef hat for my niece the other day? Well I put this set to paper for the matching card. Our niece was turning 2 so you can see two little Birthday Banners.
I used the very cool Strips and Stripes set to form the long vertical strip, using the Baby Wipe Technique dropping reinkers onto a Baby Wipe and inking the stamp with that as my ink pad. I also inked the pennants this way too, and the little candles. I love the variation of color you can get. I've added the banners on to some pretty satin ribbon and trim with pretty buttons and twine as accent.
The strip is surrounded by the Fair Isle Borderabilities Petite cut in half and adhered on each side of the strip.
And here was the ensemble together. I love the cheerful yellows :)
Because we just knew this set was a match made in heaven with the Spellbinder's Pennant Dies, we asked some of their ever-so-talented designers to join the Flourishes team for a little show and tell! Make sure to hop on over and see....
