I recently made two versions of a card, using the stamp set Wild About Flowers. This is one of the sets that will soon be retiring from Stampin' Up's Annual Catalog.
The card above has the look of a field of wildflowers. The key to this look is sponging on a blue sky and some green grass.
SIMPLE STAMPING TIP #35 - Use a sponge to add subtle touches of color.
Stampin' Up sells sea sponges in packs of 3 for 3.50. These sponges can easily be cut into wedges to use for different colors. This is an easy and inexpensive way to add interest to a hand-stamped card!
For this card, I stamped the flowers again in the exact same way as I did in the first card, except that this time I stamped them directly onto a sheet of Wood Textures background paper. This looks like wildflowers growing against the side of an old barn.
SIMPLE STAMPING TIP #7 - Stamp directly onto patterned paper.
The Wild About Flowers stamp set, along with many other stamp sets and accessories, will only be available for one more week. Then it will be time for a new Annual Catalog, full of fun & beautiful new stamping supplies! You can leave a message in the comments or send email me at godismydelight@yahoo.com if you would like to see the list of retiring products OR if you would like a free copy of the new catalog.
