Back in 2014 I took one of Jennifer McGuires's online card classes called Stretch Your Stamps 2, and Shari Carroll was one of the instructors. I CASEd one of Shari's cards then and have always wanted to do another one in a different set of colors. Here's that card, only 12 years later!
supplies: white and watercolor cardstock, vellum, (retired) Hero Arts Flower Bird Garden cling stamp, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, and mustard seed distress inks, Simon/CZ Design With Love die, adhesive foam squares, tiny pale pink and peach adhesive pearls
Here's my original card.
Both cards use the same cling stamp called Flower Bird Garden, a 3" by 3 1/2" negative background. Inking it allows the details to come through as white (or whatever color of cardstock you use to stamp on), and colors the background. Shari's idea was to ink it in several distress inks, spray it lightly with water to help the inks blend, and then stamp it on watercolor paper. Then you cut it into 1" squares and mix them back up to make a more random background. In order to get enough squares, I had to stamp twice, and after cutting them apart into 1" squares, randomly popped them above a backing panel, which was then attached to my white card base. Then I just added a die-cut sentiment and embellishments.
If you wish further details on the older card, it's linked at the top of this post or you can also click on its picture here to be taken back to the original post.
How are you all doing? We've been enjoying the cool sunny weather lately, taking a walk daily. Thanks for stopping by!
