So what do you think happened? I was, of course, hit by the old stamper's block -- nothing would come of it. I did create the two cards here, but I am not thrilled. I may give this a go again later this week. I love this stamp, and I know there is tons that I can do with it...oh well. So here is the first shot at the stamp:
The stamp that we are focusing on is the flower stamp. It is one of a few stamps from a hostess set from Stampin' Up! called "Oh So Lovely". I do love the lovely simplicity of it! The background I used here is one from the newest Technique Junkie Newsletter called Dry Embossed Wash. I LOVE this background -- it is so soft and pretty in person.Okay, here is attempt number two:
This one uses the Marker Wash Technique from the October 2007 issue of the newsletter. I still love this technique -- I think the faux watercolored look is just divine! The layout of both of these are very simple -- I just couldn't drag out the embellies -- my mojo is still in Paris, I think!In any case, the newsletter was mailed on Thursday (11-29, yesterday) -- all of you junkies can go take a look at the site -- and watch your mailboxes : ) Drop me a line and let me know which of the new techniques are your favorite!
I am scrapbooking today -- I am taking the day off after I get through my hundreds of emails and I hope that will jumpstart my creative muse! I will share if I do anything of interest.

Pat, these are both beautiful. You don't need any embellishments.
I think they are both beautiful Pat! Of course, if you want to use the stamp to make even more cards, I won't stop you. ;)
But, these are perfect for this challenge!!
Very Pretty. Each has it's own unique look!

Very cool! AND you KNOW that I love the Marker Wash technique. I am so jealous of your trip...I must have been under a rock because I was wondering where you were.
Welcome back, Pat!

Beautiful! The flowers look lovely with the marker wash technique.
Lovely cards! Your cards have brought out the beauty of the stamps!
Oh Pat, these are so nice. I love the soft feel of your first card but also love the little flower garden your created on your second card. Nicely done.
Umm..wow! Those are just beautiful. I love the soft color choices that you made!
This is beautiful. I don't even like that stamp but love both cards. Your cards are lovely and quite different looking. Great challenge this time around.
I just love how you've used the greeting above the flowers - great idea!
Both of these are wonderful Pat! Great job on the DPOV!
