I love how the print looks like old cabbage roses!
With this large sheet of flowers, I will be able to make two large cards. I completed one today.
This was fun! I will be able to get a bunch more sheets out of this piece of celery and I am hoping to decorate a matching gift bag too.
I am looking forward to making the rounds and visiting with you today to see what you are working on. Thank you, Julia, for this great fun! Why not join in and share What Is On Your Work Desk? I would love to see what you are up to!
Until next time!

Wow, thats awesome! They really do look like the real old fashioned roses, don't they? Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #52 xx
That's so beautiful!
Oh my goodness... what a wonderful effect this gives! I will remember - and try myself one day. LOVE how the roses look! Oh, btw, I pulled out the 'golden oldie' layout your requested - it's on my blog today. Happy woyww, Marit #77
These really make me smile. I am reminded of the phrase "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" except in your case it's "when life gives you celery, make roses!"
Wow! Looks like a LOT of fun!! I love the customized sheet of cardstock you made and also love the card with the tiny ladybugs on it!! So cute!
Wonderful technique! Thanks for sharing.
I have never seen stamping done like that before it really does look like a beautiful rose, thats it I will be in the kitchen to see what else I can use
Enjoy your WOYWW sunny day today

Wow what an amazing result you've got from something that would just be thrown out. Well done you and thanks for sharing the idea.

Wow Winnie what an ingenious idea using the celery heart and doesn't it give a super image. Thanks for visiting earlier, I am now envious of your 35 drawers for stamps - what a collection you must have! That petal porcelein stuff I have never yet used it in the way it was intended, which was to give a faux porcelein effect on silk flowers. I've just used it a few times to sort of varnish paper, I guess I should experiment and see what else it can be used for as its a big container. Happy WOYWW have a good week... Gill x #93
That's so cool, Winnie! How totally creative!
Brilliant! Takes you back to potato printing when a mere youngster. Thanks for your comments and for visiting our site.

Hi Winnie, Thanks for your visit earlier. Well I have stamped with a few things in my time, but celery now thats a first for me:) the results are stunning, who would have thought that boring old celery would produce such wonderful roses. Hugs Mo x

Genius idea they look amazing! MMx #73
Winnie, that is amazing! Tell me, is it the bottom of the celery that you cut off? I have to try this! or is it your secret? I promise not to tell!!!
Gorgeous images!!
And I have the same problem with spray inks. I have to use a box to spray into, or my whole studio would be covered!!

What a great idea and isn't Julie just the best?! I can't wait for her 'how to make your own stamp' book to come out later in the year. I just LOVE the card that you created with your unique stamp lol and the bag that you will make to go with it...just fantastic! I love all the ideas that everyone has...it just makes the creative juices flow!!! Thanks for hopping over to my blog and leaving a very lovely comment :-). Have a wonderful week and happy WOYWW.

Wow, this is gorgeous! I can't believe how much it looks like a flower. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! This is incredible! Love the beautiful card!
This desk hopping seems like a good idea, but right now I'm about to explode with all the inspiration. Your celery roses are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
Happy belated WOYWW.
Cheers, Rachel #34
I love the gorgeous print you created, Winnie! The addition of the leaf print was brilliant. The print complemented your card beautifully too. I've seen this celery print technique before, but I've never tried it. Blessings!
This is beautiful, and it looks like so much fun! I've seen the idea on Pinterest, but I didn't believe it would really work that well. Boy, was I wrong. Love it!
A healthy snack and a wonderful stamp to boot! What a grand idea. The page turned out so pretty. I am so glad I happened upon your work desk this week. Cathryn #128
Awesome job!!!
well that is just the coolest thing! It's so pretty.
Talk about repurposing! This is brilliant and beautiful all in one - thanks so much for sharing!
Wow... that's amazing. I would never have thought to do that! Never would've thought that celery would produce that image. Gorgeous flowers!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY YOU HAVE LUCKY YOU.
love this, it turned out great!
I have seen this done before, but I love your version the best - love the colors and leaves and ladybugs. Great Job!
