Stamp Kissing

UPDATE:

I made it to the Froggin' Fantastic Four with this card check it out here.

I love Lily Pad Blog and saw a new challenge for a technique called 'Stamp Kissing'.
I'd never heard of this nor tried it so I thought today was a good time to learn something new!   Needless to say I'm entering it into the Kissing Challenge at Lily Pad.  I found the hardest part was finding the two cards to kiss together to make a nice blend.

My 'kissing stamps' were the flower branch from My Cute Stamps
the Ashley's Blossoms set

and a script background stamp from Inkadinkado

I added some papers from the 6x6 paper pad by
Melissa Frances called 5th Avenue

The inside is the same sheet of paper fussy cut to make the

corner blossom

The card base is Kraft Cardstock

This gorgeous ribbon was a closeout Offray ribbon (3 yards for 50 cnets!!)

from a local scrapbook store

I also used the script stamp on the backround mat

Here you can see how the branch stamp kissed

the script backround stamp and gave it a hint of script here and there

Congratulations

Paper line is 5th Avenue by Melissa Frances

isn't it gorgeous, thank you Barb for sending it to me!

Popped up the fussy cut ladies and the corner flowers

Flocking

Amber, (child number 3) sent me a box of goodies for Mother's Day.  Included was a set of little bottles of colored flock, something I'd never used.  I really anticipated them being messy and not easy to use but curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it.  Wow was I surprised and really happy with the finished effect.  I think I can safely say flocking is one of my favorite things to punch up a card with now.  Thank you Amber!!!!

Barb Duhamell sent me a rak about the same time Amber's package came.  In Barb's was this wonderful paper pad of Melissa Frances called 5th Avenue.  This is the first Melissa Frances product I have and I love the papers, so soft, so beautiful.  It just worked perfectly for my card.  I stamped the side of the paper  with a stamp from Rubber Stampede called Solidago Sprig and then used the purple  flocking on the buds of the flower.  What a pop this gives the card.

I punched the butterflies 3 times, placing the first directly on the paper and popping the other two one atop the other.

A very fast simple card that has a lot of punch when sent.
Try out flocking if you haven't already, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the results.
