Hi all! It's my turn to showcase some cards made with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. These two cards are rejects from a publication call where the challenge was to make a flower from non flower stamps.
My first idea was to use the ribbon from Calm and Gentle.
At first I stamped the ribbon evenly around in a circle, but it didn't look that interesting. So my next idea was to stamp in two layers of petals, alternating the heights. And then using a different color for each layer. Better!
The sentiment from that set makes a stem, and I used one ribbon for a leaf. Finally, I turned the ribbon upside down and just stamped the ends to make some grass. Definitely got a lot of mileage out of that ribbon stamp.
The other idea was to make a flower out of a bomb from Ka-Boom.
Both bomb stamps are used here. the solid one in different shades of red/pink, and the chevron one. Best part is the explosion makes for a nice flower center.
The white border is a set of words from the Truth Is set. A little chunk is taken out of the panel with pinking shears where the ribbon tabs are.
Thanks so much for looking!

ReplyDeleteThese aer both so fabulous. What were they thinking when they rejected them? Perhaps they need new glasses?
ReplyDeleteYou definitely did get a lot of mileage out of that ribbon stamp! I agree with you on the second card; perfect flower center.
