Using one stamp two ways

Hi all!

Today I made two cards…using the same stamp.

For the first card I prepared a water colour background and then stamped the flowers and the sentiment. really simple…really fast!

For the second card I stamped the flowers on white card stock, water coloured them and then cut out the flower partially so that it could hang off the edge.

I then created a panel using Tim Holtz's woodgrain layering stencil and white ink. I just love the look of that panel.I added a sentiment and put the card together using 3D  foam tape.

The sentiments are from Fiskars and the flower stamp is from Stampendous.

Inks are from Versafine and Brilliance.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a good night!

Playing with Backgrounds...3

To make this background I have used the 'Retro Shapes Set' stamp set from Stampendous with Smokey Grey and Jet Black ink from Versafine. the sentiment is from Hero arts, 'All Occassion Messsages'. The photograph is of a wooden sleeping Buddha in my home. I matted the picture with one scalloped circle in black and one in green. The green circle and the black strips  on the card have been embossed with the 'swirls' embossing folder from Cuttlebug.
