Hi friends,

When I first saw this stamp from Unity Stamp Company, I immediately thought of cotton. After all, I do live in Alabama 😉

The name of the set is Difficult Roads and it includes 3 sentiments along with the main image. The “happy birthday” sentiment is from the Hugs, Kisses, & Birthday Wishes set also from Unity Stamp Company.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock. I colored the jar with a very light turquoise (Copic marker BG10 Cool Shadow) and added just a touch of very light gray (Copic marker C1 Cool Gray No.1) to the flowers – which is hard to see in the picture. I die cut the image using this Nestabilities Labels die set from Spellbinders.

I layered black card stock to a white card and then added a panel of light turquoise card stock. I attached the stamped image with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and die cut it with a scalloped oval die (here’s a great set!). It is attached to the corner of the stamped flower image.

By the way, if you are in the market for a die cutting and embossing machine, I love my Cuttlebug. It sits on my desk and I use it all the time!

So simple, yet so pretty! My sister enjoyed receiving it. 🙂 This stamp set is so versatile – you can color it in so many ways for so many different occasions.

Happy Stamping!
