The Craft Your Life: Eclectic Bouquet Stamp Set showcases a stunning arrangement of a rose, a peony, and an anemone, along with ferns and leaves. The set also includes two silhouettes of pampas grass, a fern, and a leaf branch, along with the outline of a eucalyptus branch. Three heartwarming sentiments complete the stamp set.

Rainbow Watercolor 3D Embossed & Debossed Images
I used the Eclectic Bouquet 3D Embossing Folder to emboss 2 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panels of watercolor cardstock.
I 3D embossed one panel normally, but for the second panel, I first inked up the text side of the embossing folder using Obsidian Ink before embossing the cardstock.
I then watercolored the panels using Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set.
For the 3D embossed design, I colored the image that already had the inked background – for the other, I flipped over the panel to paint onto the debossed side. Once I was happy with the amount of color on the images, I left them to dry naturally. Once the debossed panel was dry, I swiped over Obsidian Ink very gently to ‘color' in the background.
The sentiment was created using Far Out Phrases with Brushed Gold, Jet Black, and Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.

Designer's Tips!
Stamp and emboss the outline design with white embossing powder. Then, loosely color the images with ink sprays or watercolors. Use black and other colors around the edges to create a galaxy effect.

I really like the embossed and debossed look. And the 3D makes them not only nicer, but easier to color.
We couldn’t agree more <3
I have my ‘heart eyes’ all over this set, Lydia! YOU are not making this easy on me! SO cool – which is the only comment worthy of these ‘far out love and peace’ flowerchild sentiments! lol x
