This is not a new design – it is a CASE of a CASE, but it is one that I have been making often in different colors. I am holding on to summer with these bright fun colors, but these stamps will also be beautiful with fall tones.
I made this card at a Workshop yesterday with my stamping friends in Columbus. How I miss them! When I lived in Columbus (and before I was a demonstrator), we got together regularly to make cards. These are the girls that got me into stamping.
I love this card because there is a lot of stamping! Even though this card is very simple, the little touches and cool stamps make it very appealing. Plus it is easy to get a great result because the stamps are clear and easy to line up.
The card base is Coastal Cabana. I stamped the largest flower in Pink Pirouette. The two pink elements stamped on the center are done in Strawberry Slush. To make the larger of the two a little lighter, I stamped off once on my grid paper, and then stamped the flower without reinking. The smallest of the centers is stamped full-strength, with no “stamping off”.
The larger part of the Daffodil Delight flower is also stamped off once. The center is darker because it is not stamped off. You can get more shades from your colors using this method. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz.
Have a great weekend!
