Velveteen Stamping

I love watching video tutorials regardless how they relate to making cards and one of my favorite artists is Shari Carroll who always has terrific ideas. Recently she shared a technique that she calls Velveteen Stamping and since I thought it was so pretty, I set about to try it. I started with Heavenly White cardstock from PaperTemptress and white ink to stamp the background followed with several flower images stamped in three different colors. Once dried, I popped it onto Paper Temptress's  Sno Cone Pop Tones and added a matching butterfly and sentiment. Naturally, I had to add pearls!
