S-T-R-E-T-C-H your stamps!

Hi there!

 I had a last minute idea for the stretch your stamps challenge at A blog named HERO !

Fortunately the execution went smoothly and here I am with a couple of hours to spare before the challenge ends.

I couldn't decide if I should make a flower or a wreath... so I made both with one simple leaf stamp !
A huge stretch considering the stamp I used is from one of my first ever Hero arts stamp sets. You'll see in the photos below it's been used A LOT! So hang on to those older stamps, and take a look at them with fresh eyes!

My "Poinsettia" :

... and my Wreath :

 For the first card :

• Leaf stamp from the retired set called 'Layered Flowers'
• Sentiment stamp from a Hero arts/Sizzix stamp and die cut set
• Zig markers
• Silhouette cameo to cut out the leaves
• Versafine black ink
• Silver mirror card stock
• Circle dies 
• Large gem and rhinestones

For the second card :

• Leaf stamp from the retired set called 'Layered Flowers'
• Sentiment from 'Hand drawn everyday messages' set
• Versafine black ink
• Distress oxide inks as shown in photo
• Silhouette cameo to cut out leaves and sentiment
• Rhinestones
• Foam dots for dimension

Some quick watercolor smooshing to turn a leaf into something so different!
