I am so happy to be posting today as a Guest Designer at CAS on Friday because I was the winner of a previous challenge with this card.
The challenge this week is to Use Your Favorite Flower Stamp. I have so many flower stamps, and many of them are my favorites....what to choose..... I decided to use PTI Year of Flowers Gladiolus. It is one of my favorites, and quite old and well loved. It hasn't seen ink for a while, so that is how I chose it.
This card is so very simple. I stamped the large flower image slightly off the page, and then colored it with Copic markers. I used a sentiment from The Greetery Cotton Comforts, and cut and popped up one bit of the sentiment, just to give the card a little bit of dimension and texture. That is it....Clean and Simple. I made it a sympathy card, as those seem to be in most demand these days, unfortunately.
I hope you will play along with CAS on Friday. I look forward to seeing everyone's favorite flower stamps.
I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #164: One Image with optional twist Inspired by TV (remember all those fabulous gardening and landscaping shows in the early days of HGTV?), Retro Rubber #133: Anything Goes (I think I've had this stamp for 8 years or so), and Addicted to Stamps and More #387: Make Your Mark.
Stay Safe and Wash Your Hands!
