Two - Step Stamping is a method I forget to use. This was the first time I used this stamp set. I made four cards and didn't discover my mistake until I started taking pictures. What is wrong with the card above? I forgot to place a flower on the one stem. I tried stamping a flower on the finished card and, of course, I messed them up. Oh, well - it is only paper! What else is wrong? The flower does not look good seated on the top stem (see bottom of post).

This is my corrected card. Personally, I do not like how the Field Flowers stamp set was made.
- I feel that the stem layout is backwards. I would rather have the full bloom flower seated on the top. Stampin' Up! has designed the top of the stem to "hold" the bud of the flower. I don't like the finished result when placing the full bloom flower on the top portion of the stamp.
- It is very difficult to figure out what direction to "seat" the flower and the bud. I ended up marking the"top" of the flower stamps with a permanent marker so I don't struggle everytime I use the stamps.
The card was CASED from Stampin' Up!'s 2012- 2013 Catalog, page 137. I had to change it up because I didn't like how the large flower was stamped on the opening blossom stem.
