Summer Challenge: Day 9 Flowers

Today is a definite end of summer/beginning of fall day. It's warm, but with a nip in the air and walking around I see leaves lying all over in their slightly crisped state. Still plenty of leaves on the trees though so not quite there yet. Soon though! For now we approach the end of this Summer Challenge hosted by the sweet Kelly over at Ooh La La Polish. This is the second to last day and the challenge is: flowers! I haven't stamped in this entire challenge so I thought it was time:
Bright, vibrant, saturated colors sing to the song of summer. Base is my latest polish craze of China Glaze For Audrey (so versatile!). From the flower base up is Julep Alicia, OPI Miami Beet (which I bought for the day I own Whimsical Peanut Butter & Jelly), and the leaves are Julep Selena.

On that note I hear the bus - got to go get my sweet babies :)

  3. Very pretty!! So do you paint all the colors on the stamp then scrape off? I've never tried more than one color stamping, will be doing soon!

    1. Just swipe a line of each color across the design where you want that color to go. If you want the two to gradient a little more take a toothpick or pin and swirl them where they meet then swipe the scraper off in the direction the lines went and presto! Multi-colored design.

    1. I tend to over complicated a manicure and stamping gets such great results every time. Thanks so much :)
