MIM #116 Adding Texture to Stamps

So happy for Monday this week.
My whole family 20+ celebrated Mother's Day at our house!
I'm stamping instead of cleaning! (Can you relate?)
Betsy Veldman used a comb to texturize a stamp. Then we were challenged to put texture to stamp.
Here's what soft sliced styrofoam can do to petals from Happiness in Bloom.
On a piece of Ocean Tides I created a wallpaper background of Fresh Snow blossoms, then Harvest Gold, then Avocodo centers.
Medallion is also crosshatched with the soft styrofoam. Only I alternated colors of ink onto Ripe Avocado die cuts. Vellum separates them.
Felt and tissue leaves. Acrylic brad.
Feeling thankful from Signature Greetings II.

    I love to visit your blog - your creations are absolutely amazing! And I really enjoy reading your descriptions of how you put it all together. (I hate to sound like a complainer, but the script font is really challenging to read. I hope you will consider changing it back to something a little simpler for those of us with "old eyes.")Thanks!

    Love the layers & texture on your card Nancy - just delightful! I will admit it can take up to a week to get the house back to normal after a big party - how wonderful to have all your family around!

    There is some great anti-virus and security software for Android and many address the two issues in one.
    Equipped with the latest 3rd generation Intel Core
    series processors, a wide selection of ports, and up to 15 hours
    of real-world battery life, the T430 is one of the best business
    notebooks of 2012. Online retailers like Expansys, Clove and Mobile - Fun have indicated that the white version of Samsung
    Galaxy Nexus will be available within February next.
