I find inspiration in my craft room all the time and for today’s project, it was my Delicata ink pads.

I had this gorgeous stamp set from Avery Elle called Layered Rose and thought it would be fun to stamp and emboss it using rich fall-themed colors.

Delicata is a pigment ink with a beautiful shimmer to it.  I chose Golden Glitz, Rose Gold, and Ruby Red for my rose layers and Emerald Green for the leaves.

After stamping the images, on to kraft colored cardstock, I heat embossed them with clear powder for a shiny finish.

I then, trimmed the flowers and leaves out with the matching dies, I arranged them on to a notecard created with kraft colored card stock.  I added a strip of white to brighten it up a bit with a sentiment from Avery Elle’s Floating Wishes stamp set.

Popping the flowers up with foam squares gives a little bit of dimension.

This is another example of using your stamps year round just by switching up the ink.  I have a previous post where I did the same thing using markers which you can find HERE.  Thanks so much for joining me today!
