I love the smell of new stamps...

...in the morning. Any time, really. I am still over the moon that I won the July release from Flourishes, and I'm having a great time getting them inky :) I have a rare-for-me triple challenge card to share this morning - for the Birthday Card challenge at Moxie Fab World, the paper-piecing challenge at little red wagon, and the Texture challenge at The Pink Elephant. 

Supplies: stamps from Flourishes - pinwheels & popsicles; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Bic Markers; rhinestone strips from Dollarama; paper piercer, black embroidery thread; yellow sparkle fabric paint from Tulip

I've coloured all the lanterns twice - once on the card panel, and once on another sheet. I then cut then out, rolled each one around a pencil, and attached with a thin piece of foam tape in the middle. This lets the lanterns have a rounded appearance (I really did squeal when I attached them - it worked just like I'd hoped!). This is my paper-pieced section - I hope it still counts. 

For texture, I've stitched along the 'wire' lines of the stamp, used foam tape to pop up the lanterns, added rhinestones; and painted around the lanterns with textured dimensional fabric paint. I love how the yellow glitter gives the same soft glow as lantern light! 

The 'birthday' challenge is pretty clear, I think.
