A word of warning about circle stamping with the Stamparatus and a template --- it is addictive. More and more I am looking at my stamp sets to see which small stamps can be used for this technique.
So far, the best stamp set so far, with the most versatile smaller stamps is the "Happy Birthday Gorgeous" stamp set.
I wanted to give this card an Autumn flair, so I used Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie as my 2 main colours.
Using a template for a 3 by 3" square Whisper White card stock, I stamped the flowers in Black Memento, with the colours alternating between Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.
In between the flowers I stamped a stem of sorts (? name) in Soft Suede, and after that a spiral stem in Crumb Cake ink.
The leaf was stamped by hand in Old Olive.
In the center I placed a 1 1/4" circle in Pumpkin Pie with the sentiment stamped on a 1" Whisper White circle. The two were adhered together using dimensionals.
Small rhinestones were added to the centers of each flower and above and below the sentiment; glitter added to the Soft Suede stems.
The Whisper White art piece was matted with a 3 1/4" piece of Daffodil Delight, and then3 1/2 Whisper White before adhering to a 4 1/4 by 8" Pumpkin Pie base.
