Wreath builder cards

stamps used:  Gina K. Designs, savvy stamps
inks:  Brutus Monroe surface inks, VersaFine clair nocturne
I had some play time so I got out my wreath builder stamp/stencil set and made these three cards.  Believe it or not it took a good two hours to make these cards.  It's not as easy as you might think.  There is a learning curve for this set and yes, you do need a stamp positioner ... I have the TH platform and it worked o.k. but I found I needed to use my magnets maybe when I practice some more I can do without them.  don't get me wrong I do like the way the cards came out and will play some more with this set in fact I want to try doing it as an A2 size card ... these are 4 1/4" square cards.  Oh yes, I also used some new ink pads I had just ordered ... Brutus Monroe surface ink cubes so that is the reason for the color schemes.  I tend to use what I can get my hands on at the time.
thanks for stopping by.  come back again soon.

These do take time. Remind me of the Stamp Tapestry sets. I like the one with the large orange flowers the best.

yes, you are right they do remind me of Stamp Tapestry stamps. the difference is these are polymer so you can use in stamp positioner where the wood pegs always left a shadow edge image for me. good to hear from you here.
