Hi there!  Today’s swap share is one I did for the “In With the New” swap at Stampin’ Up! Convention 2012.  It is a swap that requires that the participants use stamp sets new to the catalog.  One of my immediate must-haves from the new 2012-2013 Catalog was the Summer Silhouettes stamp set.  Another was the single stamp, Beautiful Birthday, so I combined them into this card!  To create the background “paper,” I stamped the leaf stamp in VersaMark and embossed it with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder, then I stamped the larger flowers with the Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Pad, and finished off with the starburst flowers in the Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad.  One tip to get your embossing powder to only stick to the VersaMark is to run the Embossing Buddy over the card stock before stamping to remove static!  Leave a comment to let me know what one of your favorite stampin’ tips is!!!
