Hello bloggers, I made these cards yesterday with the same stamp... they are so different from each other, right? I am trying to build up a collection to have another sale but I am a bit laid back about it. This cards above was stamped with a Docraft square stamp using Jim Holtz distress ranger ink in broken china. Over the square blue layer I stamped the cherry blossom from Hero Arts which I just picked up from the book shop close by a few days ago. I rubbed glitter all over the blue square after stamping the cherry blossom tree stamp to make it look more lively. The shimmery flowers in blue and green are from my stash. The strips you see on the side are scraps that were lying on my work table - collecting dust. They are pearlized handmade papers in two colours. The cardstock is pearly white but it doesn't show in the picture. The Happy Birthday stamp is from Hero Arts, I think. |
This is another variation of the same card... used Brilliance ink in pearlized beige on shimmery blue cardstock to stamp the cherry blossom tree from Hero Arts.
The strips at the bottom are bits of ribbon and pearlized papers from scraps lying around on the table. The tiny white shimmery flowers are from my stash. Don't know whether this looks like a perfect "thank you card"... looks more like a "sympathy card" I think!
The sentiment is handwritten... I seem to be getting back my confidence to write with a pen...
Hope the daffodils are beginning to smile...
I am going to enter in the following challenges:
www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/ - anything goes
www.craftyourpassionchallenges.blogspot.com - anything goes
www.aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com - vintage or shabby (I hope the first card is shabby!)
Hugs to a very special lot of crafters,
Monica

WOW Monica. These are just beautiful. How different and such delicate colours too. It is surprising what you can do with some odd scraps to make wonderful borders and trimming. Happy crafting, speak soon.
Lots of love, Sandra xxxx
Sensational cards! WOW - they're both just gorgeous.

Both cards are beautiful, I'm really not sure which one I prefer, I think they're both fab!! Just goes to show what you can do with one stamp, eh!!? Hugs, Marie xx
That is a lovely stamp, and you've made it so pretty with the little flowers in the tree, how cute! :D
Beautiful cards, i especially love the blue one. :)
Wow, I love how versatile you made this stamp. They both look great but totally different, hard to believe it's the same stamp.
Hi Monica, this is a beautiful card; they both are. I love how you made the bulbs appear on the trees - so very beautiful. It really is serene with the blues and the textured paper; gorgeous!

This is so pretty!! Love the colors, stamp and pretty paper! Your hand written sentiments are amazing....too bad you couldn't make them into stamp!
I have a "thing" for trees, and I see we both have a "thing" for shimmery paper. These cards are stunning, I love them! Now I'm off to see what else I've missed on your blog. You've been busy! : )
This is so gorgeous!!! Love that stamp and love the flowers you added to it!
Your handwriting is perfect on it!!
