I did just that with this card, the stamp and corner punch have been on my neglected stash for a very long time, unused and forgotten. Well, no more!!! this was a perfect opportunity to create a card using this gorgeous stamp from Penny Black Slapstick called "Passionate", here is my card.
I love Iris flowers, their delicate petals are almost transparent, they come in all kinds of amazing colors, so the sky is the limit as to which one to use.
I got this stamp a long time ago, I think I've used it only once and I'm very happy to play with it again this time for our challenge.
The stamp it'self is big so I had to create a card base specially for it. Then, I stamped the image using the technique on THIS FABULOUS VIDEO by Virginia Lou.
When I saw it, I immediately went and bought this stamp, it's incredible how easy it is to do it like Virginia, the water colored look is truly fabulous.
The corners of this card were punched with a super old punch from The Paper Studio, I think this particular design is retired because I couldn't find it to share the information with you.

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.
This sentiment is from my Flourishes stash of sentiment stamps and so is the little basket of flowers.
The beautiful border is from Stampin' Up! and it's called "Delicate Details", from the Sale-a-bration catalog.
I hope you feel inspired to make a card that has NO Winter theme, using the color BLUE and join us in the SHOPPING OUR STASH gallery and, for more inspiration, hop over to my teammates blogs to see their beautiful creations.
Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate this more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

There's something about Penny Black stamps they make the most amazing cards. Your flower is coloured beautifully. Love it Maria!
