Abstract Impressions Wreath using the Stampartus -

1. Using Whisper White 4 x 4 in, and template I found on a stamping up demonstator site, provided by Lizzie Mayne. The Template was placed in the stamperatus, and the white paper in center square.
2. Using small flower background position in the center near outer edge of square, close top lid of stamperatus to secure stamp. stamp with powder pink on scrap paper first.
3. Line up detail flower on top of stamped image, and close lid of side panel. Ink with flirty flamingo and stamp on scrap first.
4. Start stamping in the center of the square with the background image in , then the detail. After the completed flower is done pick up the 4 x 4 square and turn to the next angle on the template. This should let you place the next flower just next to the one you stamped, do the same thing, stamp background then detail. Keep moving to the square until you have made a couple circle with the flowers.
5. Now using pear pizazz stamp the leaf sprigs in between the flowers .
6. Stamp sentiment in center of circle.
7. Take cut out butterfly, (this has adhesive sheet already attached to it) on stamp block place a couple drops of ink with a drop of water, or push your ink pad together in the center . Use aqua painter to watercolor the butterfly. I did butterfly in powder pink and the edges in flirty flamingo. Using the faceted dots attached 3 to center of butterfly.
8. On 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 Powder Pink square stamp the cluster of shadow poppy looking circles, to the outer edges.
9. Our Pear Pizazz card base is 10 x 5 in folded at 5 in.
10. Secure the white stamped layer upon the pink paper. Wrap the shimmer pear pizazz ribbon. across the bottom of these two layers, secure in the back. then secure this layer to card base.
11. Remove the back off the adhesive sheet from butterfly and position on front of card.
