This beautiful stamp set, Close as a Memory,  has been one of my favourites for the last few years.  It has that "built in" watercolour look that makes it look artistic, no matter how you stamp it.   And although the stamp set is a sympathy set, I use the flowers for so much more!!

For this sample, I inked up the stamp using markers and then stamped it on shimmery white cardstock.

I lightly sponged the edges of the image too.  And there is just a little bit of dazzling diamonds glitter in the centre of the flower.

Colours:  Garden Green and Not Quite Navy.

Accessories:  Scallop Oval die, Square Lattice Embossing Folder (for the Big Shot), exclusive from Stampin' Up!
