MFP Blog Hop - Great Flowers and Flower Blocks



Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

June Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are


 

 Featured June 10 - Gears To You and Gear Up 

Featured June 11 - Pretty Pears
 

 Featured June 12 - Great Flowers and Flower Blocks

I generally love MFP flower stamps and these two sets today are great. 

The first two cards use the flower blocks set. 

The first one is simple black and white with a touch of red.  The DP is actually black and white but looks slightly green below.  No colouring on this one just simple stamping with a gem in the centre.

 
This second card uses several of the tiles, a fancy spellbinders die and a MFP butterfly carefully cut out. Colouring was done with Prismacolor pencils on the images and with Copics on the standalone butterfly.

 
My next card uses the same flower from the Great Flowers stamped and masked and the lacy edge is made with a Martha Stewart punch.  Colouring is done with Prismacolor pencils.

 
My last card is paper pieced with dimension added using an embossing stylus.

    Beautiful work on these gorgeous flowers, Janine! I especially liked the second and third ones -- the lacy cut-out border on the second one and the pencil work on the third.

    What an amazing array of cards. I love all the different techniques and styles. Just shows you how versatile these stamps are. I much say my favourite is the second card. I'm totally in love with your copic colouring.

    All four cards are gorgeous, Janine. On your first card, I love how you left the flower block uncolored with just the beautiful red gem accenting it. Also love how you used the border punches as another way to accent the pretty flower images. The textured flowers on your last card are Really pretty!
