This is another of one of the many swaps I have been working on in the past couple of weeks. It was for a Spring Summer 08 Collection Swap.
This card was made using Pretty Peony. It is a two-step stamp set. Using the two stamps, a bold stamp and a detail stamp, gives the flower and its leaves some dimension.
In order to get perfect placement on the flower and leaves, I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig. For Tools & Tips Tuesday, I have prepared a tutorial on how to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig. Click this link to view the tutorial:
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Pretty Peony, Happy Everything

Ink: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss
Ribbon: Always Artichoke Grosgrain
Accessories: Vintage Brads
