Fifth Avenue Floral/ Manhatten Flower Embossing Folder

I know this set has been around for awhile but it is one of my favorite stamp sets and I
LOVE that it has a matching embossing folder!!!  This card was made with Riding Hood Red,
Early Expresso, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White.  The greeting is from Only Ovals and are punched out with the large oval punch and the scallop oval punch and layered onto the Riding Hood Red cardstock that was run thru the Big Shot in the Manhatten Flower Embossing Folder!
This card was made by running it thru the Movers and Shapers XL Bigz die with the Curly Label add-on die....then it was run thru the Big Shot again in the Manhatten Flower Embossing Folder.  The card is Pink Pirouette and is layered on Chocolate Chip.  Use the Curly Label Punch to layer the greeting and add a little bow!
I enjoy the "Bleach" technique!!!  Make a stamp pad by using white felt cut to the size of a stamp pad...I moisten it with Clorox Bleach and either set it on a plastic plate or inside a clear mount stamp case....stamp the image into the bleached felt and then stamp on Stampin' Up! cardstock.  Most of the bleach will pull the color out to a white or vanilla base!  Love it!!!
***Make sure to clean your stamp after using it in the bleach***
I used Baja Breeze, Early Expresso, and Very Vanilla for this card and the greeting is from Only Ovals and punched out in the large oval punch and the scallop oval punch!

Have a "flowery" day!!!
