Good morning!! It’s time for another STAMPtember exclusive and today it’s one of my favorite companies: Hero Arts!! Vintage Real Flowers is a beautiful floral silhouette set with fun scripty sentiments! If this is your first STAMPtember all month long Simon Says Stamp will collaborate with your favorite stamp companies to produce exclusive sets! These sets are ONLY available until they sell out and will not be restocked. Most collaboration sets sell out EVERY year so I highly recommend snagging yours early!
Here’s what I created!
I really enjoy these distress resist techniques as you can see a similar card here but today I decided to play with a slightly more vibrant color palette! To start I blended cracked pistachio, broken china, and faded jeans distress oxide ink over a panel of strathmore bristol cardstock. I splattered the panel with water, blotted off the excess, and let it dry completely. While that was drying I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a thin label.
Once it was totally dry I stamped several of the silhouettes from Vintage Real Flowers onto the panel with versamark and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I went back over the panel and blended evergreen bough over the cracked pistachio area and blueprint sketch over the broken china area. I also added a little chipped sapphire at the top of the panel. Then I splattered the panel with water again. I also added splatters of white acrylic paint, chipped sapphire distress oxide ink, and cracked pistachio distress oxide ink for lots of variation in colors and textures! Once everything dried I finished the card by adding the sentiment with foam mounting tape. I considered adding sequins or gems but decided that it had enough going on! 😉
Remember, Vintage Real Flowers is only available until it sells out so don’t wait too long! 😉 Thanks so much for visiting, have an amazing day, and Happy STAMPtember!!

Such a pretty card and set! I can’t decide which one of this year’s releases is my favorite. I love this one but I also loved the Gina K Designs one.
I like this stamptember release the best so far. I love silhouette images.
I love stamptember! My favorite has been lawn fawn and mama elephant so far!
I have so enjoyed all of the Stamptember sets this year but I do believe my favorite has been Gina K’s. Sadly I missed the chance to get one but I know I will see the cards of others who did.
I would have to say that my favorite sets so far are Reverse Confetti’s Wonderful You and Simon’s Critter Crowd. But there have been so many wonderful sets released this month
My Stamptember fave, so far, is this one, Hero Arts Vintage Flowers & your card has a little something to do with that. Seriously, wonderful card.
Love the vibrant colors you chose for this card. So far, my fav set is Sugarpea Designs Nordic Village which reminds me of the Christmas village buildings.
Beautiful card !!
I like the triangle turnabout, but these vintage real flowers are so versatile, that this is my favourite for now.
Thank you for the generous giveaway; good luck to all of us.
Fabulous card! Such a pretty image and your card showcases it so beautifully. I have many favorites from this Stamptember Collaborations but I think Gina K’s is the top on my list.
Your card is beautiful ! I love your colors’ selection, blue is my color 😉, so of course, it’s the best choice for me.
Thank you for the giveaway, it’s very generous. I keep my fingers crossed. My favorite Stamptember stamps set until now is the Clearly Besotted Christmas wreath. I cannot wait to receive my order, it’s on the way….
There have been so many wonderful new sets! I really liked the clean design and simplicity of the set from The Stamp Market.
Your card is so pretty. All of the stamp sets have been wonderful. I am tied between two faves: Heffy Doodle and Mama Elephant. Adorbs!!
What a beautiful card. You are always so generous with your time and sharing. Thank you.
Oops, forgot to tell you my favorite stamp released so far. I like Lawn Fawn’s little bunnies!
Such a beautiful card, Jess. I like your color combination and how you integrated the embossing color. tfs

I love the Distress Oxide-blended background. With the Vintage Real Flowers it makes more a quick, but beautiful, card! Have to say, the Tim Holtz STAMPtember Stamps and Stencil has me enthralled! Thanks for the opportunity!
I love the blues you used… I think my favorite so far has bee the Clearly Besotted or Newton’s Nook! I am a subscriber and follower to your blog, instagram and YouTube! (meghan.kennihan@gmail.com)
I love the Sugar Pea stamp set–so so cute!
Triangle turn about as it is so versatile for backgrounds and I need to build a stash for backgrounds. Anything flower I love. Thanks for the technique insights for this card. I need to try it now, lol.
The Gina K stamp is my favorite.
Gorgeous card! Love the colors and the silhouette floral design!
The sets I’ve really liked are Gina K’s and Mama Elephant’s. I wasn’t quick enough to get either!
I love the colors in your card! The clear embossing was a great idea to trap the lighter colors when you inked over with the darker ones. Love the look!
