hi everyone! I am starting to do more stamping of late. Good thing! I have so many rubber stamps and many are just beautiful. So, I want to start using them again.
Today's card is using a really pretty flower stamp that I colored with Spectrum Noir colored pencils. (Yes, couldn't help myself. I bought a set. I do love colored ANYTHING. The more colors, the better. I love new tools, new colors, LOL....yikes!)
I used a pink for the overall color of the flowers and then colored the base with a darker red and blended them. I used a single green for all the leaves. I didn't color the vines.
I used Distress Inks in Tea Dye and Old Paper to color/edge the paper of my stamped piece (which was on ivory card stock). The THANK YOU is a separate stamp that I got for a dollar at Michaels.
I used a gold pen to add gold splatter to the image once I was done. I distressed the edges and then mounted to my card base which was also ivory. You will note that I curled two of the corners (see upper left).
I covered my card base with two papers: red foil and at the bottom a foiled cheetah pattern. Yes, I sure did go out on a limb with these choices, didn't I? But I thought they were lovely together.
I added a red/pink striped ribbon/organza as a final touch. If you look at the right side I cut out two short lengths of the ribbon and cut a "v" in them and added them on top of the ribbon strip as a layer.
This stamp would look good as a circular pattern because of the way the stem is designed.
Take care, Lis
