Repeating Stamped Images + Blog Hop

I have a love for vintage blue porcelains; I actually have a little collection of them. Their intricate patterns and varying shades of blue speak to me somehow and provide such beauty! Simon Says Stamp’s new Vintage Mosaics is a stamp set I designed for the Out of This World release and I couldn’t wait to make something with it—inspired by my “blue collection”.

I used the Vintage Mosaics stamp and cut the images out with Simon’s Five Squares die set (such a handy die for square images like this!).

Behind my mosaics is a background made with the new Dahlia Delights embossing folder; I embossed it on Soft Navy cardstock; this makes the mosaics pop off the darker color and the texture adds a lot of interest.

For a sentiment I used the Elegantly Modern Greetings hot foil plate and die set (another set I designed for Simon!); I also added a sentiment strip underneath it with CZ Design’s Reverse Gratitude set.
