Awash with Flowers and Spring Promotion

     During the month of April (just ten more days), Stampin' Up! is offering a sneak preview of the Awash with Flowers two-step stamp that will be offered in the new 2010/2011 Idea Book & Catalog.  There is also a special discount being offered off of select two-step Stampin sets from the current catalog.  For more information, check out the link to the right of this post called Two-Step into Spring.
     This card used the Awash with Flowers stamp set and the current In-Colors, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Crushed Curry, with some Basic Black to outline the Whisper White.
     You may be asking: What is two-step stamping?  It literally means there are two steps to complete the stamping process.  The first is the outline stamp (notice the black outlines of the flowers and stems), then the 'fill in the color' stamp.  I probably could have matched the lines better if I had used the Stamp-A-Majig, but I don't always like the extra fuss for something this simple.  You could also choose to use a watercolor technique to 'paint' the flowers.
     Remember that many of the colors will be retiring at the end of June, and after June 1, they will be only be available  'While Supplies Last', so if you have a favorite color, make sure you stock up while you can!

Happy Stamping,
