Summer Flowers Frame

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can be intimidated by large stamps. Emboss them, color them, skip them entirely ??  LOL  But I loved this Summer Flowers Frame stamp from the June Release and was determined to make a card for a friend with it . So I decided to make the stamp a little less intimidating for me and punched out 3 squares from the stamped image . And this is what I came up with !! I'm pretty pleased with the results .. What do you think ?

• I stamped the Summer Flowers Frame with Tuxedo Black Memento Dew Drop ink on a lined piece of cream paper.
• Using a 1 3/8" square paper punch, I punched out 3 squares  ( next to each other ) from the stamped image . 
• I then colored the images with my COPICS .
• Clear Glitter Wink of Stella was added to the centers of each flower .
• On a piece of pale blue lined patterned paper with the word HELLO in the right lower corner, I stamped a sentiment from the June Release - Flowers Are Like Friends - in Elderberry Memento Dew Drop ink .
• The completed panel with the sentiment was adhered to a green card base.
• The 3 completed squares were popped up on the front of the card with a small space in between each one.

Hope this card shows you that you can think outside the box when looking at a larger stamp .. There are so many ways you can interpret a design .. Thanks for stopping by..
