Flowering Desert - Clear Block Stamping

Welcome Crafty Friends!!   Today's projects is a card featuring the Flowering Desert stamp set from the Occasions Catalog.  As a person living in North Texas we have lots of Prickly Pear cactus around here.  In my neighborhood folks have cactus in their flower beds.  

  Measurements:

Soft Suede base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 

Crushed Curry 5 1/4 x 4

Cajun Craze 5 1/8 x 3 7/8

Shimmery White 5 x 3 3/4

Wood Textures DSP 4 x 7/8 (sentiment)

Whisper White liner 5 1/2 x 4 

Ink:

Soft Suede

---

Technique Tip:  I used my Crushed Curry, Blushing Bride and Cajun Craze Stampin Markers to layer ink on my Clear Block size "D", spritzed the block with water then plopped the block on my Shimmery White cardstock.  Color Block stamping is one of my favorite techniques to add background color to a card, I have used it many times. Keep in mind that you cannot be in a hurry when use the Clear Block stamping technique, the paper needs to dry a bit before you start stamping other images because they could smear or run.  Also Shimmery White cardstock or Watercolor paper are the best for this type of application.
