Poppy Disappointment

As it is my mum's Birthday and Mother's Day fast approaching I thought I would do a card for each special occasion. After a long search I finally found a Stamp and Die set of her favourite flowers Poppies.

As I had a rare day off I thought I would give them a go...How disappointed I was. Firstly the stamps were not individual and secondly they would not stick to my stamp block nor my WRMK stamping tool so I had to work with these blindly which meant I would not get a perfect stamped image.

My first attempt was to stamp image and place paper on top then use my die cut, second attempt was to use distress ink on paper, place die cut then stamp outline in black and place paper on top and press.

Surely there has to be an easier way .... Oh Yes ! it's called buy more products..so hence i have now ordered Stix2 and hope they will work that way.

As these are Sheena Douglass Stamp and Die set I honestly thought I would not have this issue.
