Just a note to say hello

Lately, all my cards have been made for my Design Teams, because I needed a specific card, or because someone requested a specific card made.  This evening, I was happy to have the time and energy to just play! :) 

I recently received some extra money and splurged on a stamp and die set that I have been wishing for ever since I first saw it.  Here's the card I made with it...

When I first saw layering stamps a few years ago, I thought they were so neat!  I did get a couple of sets of layered flowers... and was so frustrated and disappointed in most of my attempts.   It's tough to get them perfect!!!   I saw a card maker on YouTube use a grouped layering stamp and die set.  Wow!!  I wanted these!  Like I said, I splurged and got Peony Memories Cardmaking stamps set and matching dies from the Ton.  Love them already!!  

I embossed a white panel with the Paper Studio Script EF.  I stamped the flowers with Catherine Pooler Fiesta Blue, All that Jazz, and Suede Shoes.  My sentiment is from this set, too (it has a bunch!!), stamped with VersaFine Black Onyx, and cut out with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  

I'm submitting this card to these challenges...

As you Like It - do you prefer rubber, clear or digi and why -- I prefer clear stamps because I love the clean, clear way they stamp. And they take up less space, so there's room for more! ;)

Aud Sentiments #268 - anything goes + sentiment

StampingPals Challenge #12 - favourite technique  - I love dry embossing!!!

The Flower Challenge #53 - use your latest stamps and dies - just got this set in the mail this week :)
