Sweetest Peas Stamp & Die Bundle

Man of you mentioned that you adore Sweetest Peas! No wonder!
The Sweetest Peas Stamp set has many captivating outline images.
I love the artsy look of this stamp set. Today's card is my 2nd version from the set.
This time, I tried ink-smooshing after embossing the images in Altenew's Rose Gold Embossing Powder. (shop Altenew here, SSS here). All card stock and ink are from Altenew. No special tool required.
For "ink-smooshing", you will need a piece of acetate ( you can use the plastic packaging transparency). I simply applied the wet ink (ink mixed with a few drops of water) onto the flower image and let the water soaking into the paper just a bit. And that is how I did my ink-smooshing.
One thing I would say about this stamp and die bundle is that you can just get the stamp set.
The cost of dies will set you back $35!! I fussy cut the following vellum images without any problem and you should be able to handle the fussy cutting, too!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

That is such a beautiful effect
Love the rose gold EP!
I thought yesterday's card magnificent and today's is too, actually the idea of smooshing the ink is brilliant giving such interesting reaults.
This sweet pea set is my favorite from the release! They're my favorite flower, so I was excited to see the pretty stamp set! Lots of good memories of picking sweet peas in our backyard with my Dad....
Your cards are beautiful ! I love both versions of your flowers.
Two gorgeous cards, Virginia! Your ink smooshing is beautiful, and I love the sweet peas on vellum! I fussy cut most things to save on cost, it gives me money for other types of dies or more stamps!
two very lovely cards, Virginia - especially the one done with vellum!
This is so gorgeous! You've done it again ... off to shop!

Sorry to be a bad blogging friend, it's been a million years since I've stopped by. Our renovation has me so busy! But I had to let you know how pretty your sweet pea card is. Having my own personal little Sweet P makes these all the more special!
How sweet. I’ve never smooshed, but it looks like something I’ll have to try. TFS
Very pretty flowers!!
Virginia, your cards are always so breathtakingly lovely! It's such a joy to open one first thing in the morning, and that peacefulness lingers with me throughout my day! Thanks for sharing :)
Oh Virginia, these are both so beautiful and your colour choices are always spot on! How do you do this? Every. Single. Time? ♥ it!
Beautiful cards. I like the colors and embossing.
Two beauties, Virginia, but I especially love the delicate purple flowers on the congrats card!!
Altenew is so smart to have you on their team to showcase the newest goodies...Your cards are absolutely gorgeous, Virginia!!!
Holy cow Virginia, these are just plain gorgeous. Of course this is my most favorite new set from the release, but you've taken it to an all new level.
Another gorgeous card with my favorite flowers! Love this fabulous creation!
Gorgeous cards, love this Sweetest Pea and the ink smooshing technique looks fabulous with this sketchy style of flowers. Love the vellum colored ones too.
Love both cards. The ink smooshed card looks so loose and free-- such a pretty look. The gold embossed vellum card is so elegant!
I am so in love with your cards and keep shopping and not posting here!!! I am wanting everything!!Thanks for the links!
looks like a fun technique to try! such beautiful cards, too. :)
